C++ Aggregation (HAS-A Relationship)

C++ Aggregation (HAS-A Relationship)

In C++, aggregation is a process in which one class defines another class as any entity reference. It is another way to reuse the class. It is a form of association that represents HAS-A relationship.


C++ Aggregation Example

Let's see an example of aggregation where Employee class has the reference of Address class as data member. In such way, it can reuse the members of Address class.

  1. #include <iostream>  
  2. using namespace std;  
  3. class Address {  
  4.     public:  
  5.    string addressLine, city, state;    
  6.      Address(string addressLine, string city, string state)    
  7.     {    
  8.         this->addressLine = addressLine;    
  9.         this->city = city;    
  10.         this->state = state;    
  11.     }    
  12. };  
  13. class Employee    
  14.     {    
  15.         private:  
  16.         Address* address;  //Employee HAS-A Address   
  17.         public:  
  18.         int id;    
  19.         string name;    
  20.         Employee(int id, string name, Address* address)    
  21.        {    
  22.            this->id = id;    
  23.            this->name = name;    
  24.            this->address = address;    
  25.        }    
  26.      void display()    
  27.        {    
  28.            cout<<id <<" "<<name<< " "<<     
  29.              address->addressLine<< " "<< address->city<< " "<<address->state<<endl;    
  30.        }    
  31.    };   
  32. int main(void) {  
  33.     Address a1= Address("C-146, Sec-15","Noida","UP");    
  34.     Employee e1 = Employee(101,"Nakul",&a1);    
  35.             e1.display();   
  36.    return 0;  
  37. }  

Output:

101 Nakul C-146, Sec-15 Noida UP

Difference between net platform and dot net framework...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework... .net platform supports programming languages that are .net compatible. It is the platform using which we can build and develop the applications. .net framework is the engine inside the .net platform which actually compiles and produces the executable code. .net framework contains CLR(Common Language Runtime) and FCL(Framework Class Library) using which it produces the platform independent codes. What is the .NET Framework? The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the common language runtime, a hierarchical set of unified class librari

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called   input operation   and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called   output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of  streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file  <iostream> .  iostream  stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like  cin ,  cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are following header files important to C++ pro
