T2U4_Pointer_to_class_and_object

The document explains the concept of pointers in relation to classes and objects in programming. It describes how a pointer can hold the address of a class and access its member variables, providing examples with a class named 'book' and an object of class 'man'. A sample program is included to demonstrate the declaration of an object and a pointer, along with the usage of pointer syntax to access member variables.

Pointer to Class, Object

· We know that a pointer is a variable that holds the address of another data variable.

· The variable may be of any data type , that is int , float m or double .

· In the same way , we can also define pointer to class . Here , the starting address of the member
variable can be accessed , thus such pointer are called class pointers

Example

class book

char name[30];

int pages;

};

(a) class book *ptr;

(or)

struct book *ptr;

in the above example , *ptr is a pointer to a class book , both statements (a) and (b) are alid the syntax
for using pointes with members is as given below

1) ptr --> name 2) ptr --> author 3) ptr --> pages

by executing thses three statements , the starting address of each member can be estimated.

Pointer to Object

Similar to variable , objects also have on address . A pointe can point to a specified object

Write a program to delcare an object and pointer and class

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

class man

public:
char name[20];

int age;

};

void main()

clrscr();

man m={"krish",34};

man *ptr;

ptr=&m;

cout<<"\n name:"<<m.name;

cout<<"\n age is:"<<m.age;

cout<<"\n name is:"<<ptr->name;

cout<<"\n age is:"<<ptr->age;

getch();
