Final Exam Scheduled for Friday, May 20th, 10:30am-12:30pm

     Prepare for Final!!!!

1. Inheritance
   1. base classes and derived classes
   2. protected members
   3. syntax for defining base and derived classes
   4. calling member functions (of the base)
   5. redefining base functions in the derived class
   6. (multiple inheritance)

   Some class definitions used in lecture can be found in:
   $CLASSHOME/examples/stu-teach.h
   $CLASSHOME/examples/stu-teach.cc
   $CLASSHOME/examples/stu-teach-drive.cc
   

2. Student/Teacher classes defined using inheritance:
   $CLASSHOME/examples/person-stu-teach.h
   $CLASSHOME/examples/person-stu-teach.cc
   $CLASSHOME/examples/person-stu-teach-drive.cc
   

   Another example -- using inheritance with the stack/queue
   $CLASSHOME/examples/queue-stack.h
   $CLASSHOME/examples/queue-stack.cc
   $CLASSHOME/examples/queue-stack-driver.cc
   

3. Wrap-up!

   Final will cover entire course, but emphasis will be on Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 17. Note in chapter 17 we did not follow the book closely especially with respect to the specific implementations. In particular, templates will NOT be covered. You may, however, find the graphical representation and description of insertion and deletion operations helpful.

   • Important Concepts from Chapter 7 -- Classes
     • Const objects and const member functions
     • Composition: objects as members of classes, member initializers in constructors
     • Friend functions, friend classes
       • have access to private members
       • friendship must be given; can't be taken
       • not symmetric or transitive
     • this pointer -- pointer to implicit argument of member functions
     • new and delete -- dynamically allocated data structures
     • static class members -- data that is "class wide"
     • skip 7.8 through the end of the chapter
   • Important Concepts in Chapter 8 -- Operator Overloading
     • operator functions as class members, friends -- when to use which?
     • understanding the real function call generated when an operator is overloaded
     • overloading stream insertion and extraction operators
     • copy constructor -- what is it and why is it needed?
     • conversion constructor -- what is it and why is it needed?
   • Important Concepts in Chapter 9 -- Inheritance
     • base class, derived class
     • protected members
     • using member functions (of base class in derived class)
     • overriding base-class members in a derived class
     • constructors, destructors
   • Important Concepts in Chapter 17
     • linked lists
     • stacks
     • queues
