10. Classes: A Deeper Look, Part
2
Objectives |
|
In this chapter you'll learn:
-
To specify const (constant) objects and const
member functions.
-
To create objects composed of other
objects.
-
To use friend functions and friend
classes.
-
To use the this pointer.
-
To create and destroy objects
dynamically with operators new and delete,
respectively.
-
To use static data members
and member functions.
-
The concept of a container
class.
-
The notion of iterator classes that
walk through the elements of container classes.
-
To use proxy classes to hide
implementation details from a class's
clients. |
But
what, to serve our private ends, Forbids the cheating of our friends?
—Charles
Churchill
Instead of this absurd division into sexes they ought to
class people as static and dynamic.
—Evelyn
Waugh
Have no
friends not equal to yourself.
—Confucius
