Explanation of Solution
Memberwise assignment:
In the same class, one object of each member can be assigned to another object of same data type.
- Using assignment operator “equal to (=)”, one object is copied to another object
- The objects are passed by value to functions or returned by value from functions.
The memberwise assignment operator occurs during two instances, they are,
- When copying one object to another object.
- To initialize data of one object to another object.
Example:
Consider the example of memberwise assignment is as follows:
//main method
int main()
{
//create the objects for the class
Triangle a (10);
Triangle b (5);
//display the output
cout << "Area of triangle1 is: " << a...

Using the scenario of Object oriented programming
Q1 Write a program that defines a class with a data member to holds a “serial number” for each object created from the class. That is, the first object created will be numbered 1, the second 2, and so on. To do this, you’ll need another data member that records a count of how many objects have been created so far. (This member should apply to the class as a whole; not to individual objects. What keyword specifies this?) Then, as each object is created, its constructor can examine this count member variable to determine the appropriate serial number for the new object. Add a member function that permits an object to report its own serial number. Then write a main() program that creates three objects and queries each about its serial number. They should respond I am object number 2, and so on.

The classes outside the system should be unaware of this additional class, and access the reference like a reference to a Member object. However, the reference would not allow the integrity of the data to be compromised. Remember that when designing the “Return Book with fines” use case, Member object is returned to the UserInterface to be able to display the member information such as owed fine. But this also means that the UserInterface can access all the Member methods. Your implementation of SafeMember class should prevent this.arrow_forward
- Write the program of object oriented programming c++. Declared Rectangle(Data Members: Length and width) as a friend class of Square(Data Member: int side). Thus now, all the functions of Rectangle can directly access any private member of Square.In the main function, the first statement created an object 'square' of the class Square, thus calling its constructor and assigning 5 to its data member side.The second statement in the main function created an object 'rectangle' of the class Rectangle.In the third statement, 'rectangle' called the function shape() with the object of the class Square passed as its argument. In the 'shape()' function, the value of 'side' (private data member of Square) was assigned to length and breadth. The fourth statement called the function 'getArea' of the class Rectangle.arrow_forwardFor this problem you are to join the following classes into a hierarchy (use the UML diagrams from Module 2 to get started): Player - Super Class Archer - Subclass Barbarian - Subclass Cleric - Subclass Rogue - Subclass Warlock - Subclass If the parent class has the same attributes as the sub class then you can remove those attributes from the subclass.
