🚗 C++ Objects – Use the Blueprint to Make Real Things
In C++, an object is a real-world thing made from a class. If a class is the plan, an object is the final product. Like a blueprint of a car (class) and the actual car you can drive (object). 🛠️
🔍 What Is an Object?
- Class = Plan or Blueprint
- Object = Real thing made from that plan
- Each object has its own values (like brand, model, year)
🔧 Example: Using Objects in C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Class definition
class Laptop {
public:
string brand;
int ram;
void showSpecs() {
cout << "Brand: " << brand << ", RAM: " << ram << "GB" << endl;
}
};
int main() {
// Creating two objects
Laptop dell;
Laptop hp;
// Assign values to dell
dell.brand = "Dell";
dell.ram = 16;
// Assign values to hp
hp.brand = "HP";
hp.ram = 8;
// Call showSpecs using objects
dell.showSpecs();
hp.showSpecs();
return 0;
}
🎯 Points to Remember
- You can create many objects from one class
- Each object can hold different values
- You access data using
.likeobjectName.property
💡 Summary
- Objects are real things created from a class
- Each object holds its own data and can use the class’s functions
- Using objects helps organize your code like pieces in a puzzle 🧩
Now that you’ve built your first objects, you’re ready to explore more OOP powers in C++! 🎯
