In C++, classes have three access specifiers: public, private, and protected. These access specifiers control the visibility of the class members.

1. Public:

   • Public members are accessible from outside the class through an object of the class.
   • They can be accessed by other classes and functions.

2. Private:

   • Private members are only accessible within the class they are declared in.
   • They cannot be accessed directly from outside the class, even by its derived classes.

3. Protected:

   • Protected members are similar to private members, with the difference that they can be accessed by derived classes.
   • They are not accessible by objects of the class or by non-member functions.

Here's a brief example of how these access specifiers are used:

class Example {
public:
    int publicVar; // Public member

protected:
    int protectedVar;  // Protected member

private:
    int privateVar;  // Private member
};

In this example publicVar can be accessed from outside the class,protectedVarcan be accessed by derived classes, andprivateVaris only accessible from within theExample` class.

In C++, container classes are classes that are used to store collections of objects. These classes are part of the C++ Standard Template Library (STL and provide various data structures for storing and managing data. They include vector, list, set, map, queue, and stack among others.

Here's a brief explanation of a few container classes with examples:

1. Vector:
   • The vector class is used to dynamic arrays that can grow in size.

   // Example of using vector
   #include <vector>

#include

int main() { stdvector numbers; // Declare a vector of integers numbers.push_back(10); // Add to the vector numbers.push_back(20); numbers.push_back(30);

   // Accessing elements
   for (int i : numbers) {
       std::cout << i << ";
   }
   return 0;

} ``2. Map:

• The map class is used to store key-value pairs where each key is unique.

// of using map
#include <map>
#include <iostream>

main() {
    std::map<std::string, int> ages;  // Declare a map string keys and integer values
    ages["Alice"] = 25;  Add key-value pairs to the map
    ages["Bob"] = 30;

    // Access elements
    for (const auto& pair : ages) {
        std::cout pair.first << ": " << pair.second << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

3. Queue:
   • Thequeue` class represents a first-in, first-out (F) data structure. Elements are inserted at the back and removed from the front.

   #include <queue   #include <iostream>
   
   int main() {
       std::queue<int> numbers;  // Declare a queue of
       numbers.push(10);  // Add elements to queue
       numbers(20);
       numbers.push(30);
   
       // Removing elements
       while (!numbers.empty()) {
           std::cout << numbers.front() << " ";
           numbers.pop();
       }
       return 0;
   }

These are a few examples of the container classes available in C++. Each of the container classes provides different functionality and is suitable for different use cases.

Operator overloading in C++ allows you to define operators for user-defined types. This means that you can define the behavior of operators such as +, -, *, /, etc. for your own classes.

Here an example of operator overloading for a simple class representing a2D vector:

#include <iostream>

class Vector2D {
public:
    double x, y    Vector2D(double x, double y) : x(x), y(y) {}

    //loading the + operator for adding two vectors
    Vector2D operator+(const Vector2D& other) const {
        return VectorD(x + other.x, y + other.y);
    }

    // Overloading * operator for scalar multiplication
    Vector2D operator*(double scalar) const {
        return Vector2D(x * scalar, y * scalar);
    }
int main() {
    Vector2D v1(1.0, 2.0    Vector2D v2(2.0, 3.0);

 Vector2D v3 = v1 + v2; // will call the overloaded + operator
    std::cout << "Result of addition: (" << v3.x << ", " << v3.y ")" << std::endl;

    double scalar = 15;
    Vector2D v4 = v1 * scalar; // This will call the overloaded *
    std::cout << "Result of scalar multiplication: (" << v4.x ", " << v4.y << ")" << std::endl;

    return ;
}

In this example, we've defined the operators + and * for the Vector2D class. When these operators are with objects of type Vector2D, the corresponding overloaded functions are invoked, allowing intuitive and natural use of operators with custom.

Dynamic polymorphism in C++ allows objects to be treated as instances of their base class, even when they are actually instances of derived classes. This means that you can call a method on a base class pointer or reference and have the method from the derived class be executed. This is achieved through virtual functions and late binding.

In C++, virtual functions are member functions of a class that are intended to be overridden in derived classes. When a function is declared as virtual in a base class (using the virtual keyword), and the same function is overridden in its derived class, the function to be called is determined at runtime (late binding).

Here's an example that showcases the use of virtual functions and late binding:

#include <iostream>

class Shape {
public:
    virtual void draw() {
        std::cout << "Drawing a shape" << std::endl;
    }
};

class Circle : public Shape {
public:
    void draw() override {  // overriding the base class virtual function
        std::cout << "Drawing a circle" << std::endl;
    }
};

int main() {
    Shape* shape1 = new Shape();
    Shape* shape2 = new Circle();

    shape1->draw();  // Output: "Drawing a shape"
    shape2->draw();  // Output: "Drawing a circle"

    delete shape1;
    delete shape2;

    return 0;
}

In this example, the draw() function is declared as a virtual function in the base class Shape. The derived class Circle overrides this virtual function. When shape1 and shape2 are used to call the draw() function, the derived version of draw() for Circle is called, demonstrating late binding. This allows for the implementation of polymorphism based on the actual type of the object at runtime.

In C++, the scope resolution operator (::) is used to define the scope of a function or variable in namespaces, classes, and structures. It allows access to a global variable when a local variable with the same name exists, or it specifies which class or namespace a particular member belongs to.

Here's an example demonstrating the use of the scope resolution operator:

#include <iostream>

int x = 10;  // variable

class MyClass {
public:
    static int x;  // Static member variable
    void printX() {
        int x = 5; // Local variable
        std::cout << "Local x: " << x << std::endl;
        std::cout << "Global x: " << ::x << std::endl;  // Access the global x using :: operator
        std::cout << "Class x: << MyClass::x << std::endl;  // Accessing the class using :: operator
    }
};

int MyClass::x =20;  // Definition of the static member variable

int main() {
    MyClass::printX();
    return 0;
}
``In this example, we have a global variable `x`, a local variablex` within the `printX` function, and a variable `x` within the class `MyClass`. The `` operator is used to access the global variable `x` the static variable `x` within `MyClass` from the scope of the local variable `x` in the `printX`. This allows for disambiguation and precise control over scope of variables and members.  

In C++, type casting is a way to convert a variable from data type to another. C++ provides several ways to perform type casting, including static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast, and reinterpret_cast. Here are examples of each type of casting:

1. static_cast:

   double myDouble = 3.14;
   int myInt = static_cast<int>(Double);  // Convert double to int using static_cast

2 dynamic_cast (commonly used for polymorphic types in inheritance):

class Base {
public:
    void print() {
        std::cout << "Base class << std::endl;
    }
};

class Derived : public Base {
public:
    void print() override {  
        std::cout << "Derived" << std::endl;
    }
};

Base* basePtr = new Derived();
Derived* derivedPtr = dynamic_cast<Derived*>(basePtr  // Convert Base* to Derived* using dynamic_cast

3. const_cast (used to add or remove const or volatile qualifiers):

   const int x = 5;
   int& y = const_cast<int&>(x); // Remove const using const_cast
   y = 10; // This would a compiler error without const_cast

4.reinterpret_cast** (used for low-level casting between unrelated types, such as pointer to integer):

* p = new int(65);
uintptr_t address reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(p);  // Convert pointer to integer using reinterpret_cast

In each of these examples, the type casting is performed to convert a variable from one data type another. However, it's important to note that the use of some casting operators (like reinterpret_cast) can be potentially unsafe and should be used carefully

Function overriding in C++ occurs when a derived class redefines a function that is already defined in its base class. When a member in the derived class has the same signature as a member function in the base class, the function in the derived class overrides the function in the base class. This allows a derived class to provide a specific implementation of a function is already defined in its base class.

Here's an example of overriding in C++:

#include <iostream>

class Animalpublic:
    virtual void makeSound() {
        std:: << "Animal makes a sound" << std::endl;
    }
};

class Dog : public Animal {
public:
    void makeSound() override {  // Function overriding
        std::cout << "Dog barks" << std::;
    }
};

int main() {
    Animal* animal = new Animal();
    animal->makeSound();  // Output: "Animal makes a sound    Animal* dog = new Dog();
    dog->makeSound();  // Output: "Dog barks" (the derived class is called)

    delete animal;
    delete dog;

    0;
}

In this example, the makeSound function is declared as a virtual function the Animal class. The Dog class then this virtual function with its own implementation. When makeSound is called on an instance of Dog through a base class pointer the overridden function in the Dog class is invoked, the concept of function overriding in C++.
