C++ Programming.

I had explained Built-in and Derived Data types in previous blogs. Now, Let's resume our topic from User Defined Data types. Simple definition - User defined data types are the data types which the User define by himself/herself. We need these data types because there are certain cases when the pre-defined data types won't help us, e.g. think of a list, which contain every information about every particular student learning in a school. Like Student name, Student IDs, Student class, Student section etc. You can think of using arrays, but arrays can only contain one field of data of built-in datatypes like int, char etc. Which is not sufficient. Now, We will discuss the following topics -  Class. Structures. Enumeration. Union. So, let's start our discussion. Classes Class is a data type present in C++, but not in C. Classes can be considered as a mechanism that allows us to create new types(of data), and we can declare and use objects of that type. A class definition cons

In the previous section, I have discussed about  Built-in Data Types in depth. Now, let's taste the flavors of Variables and literals, with a in depth introduction. Variables A Variable provide us with named memory storage, i.e. a storage in our so called RAM with a particular name (usually we give the name), We can write, modify and use this storage with the help of associated name (variable). Each variable in C++ is associated with some specific data type, like Built-in data types that we previously discussed.  There are mainly two values that are associated with any variable. RValues. LValues. Let's see what all these means. RValues - We know that a variable has some data associated with it, and we can read, write this data, this data that we read and write is termed as RValue. You can also think of RValues as Read Values or as a simple trick from me to you, you can think of as the right side values of assignment opeartor(=) . LValues - We Also know that these variables a

Before diving into definition of various Data Types, let's first discuss something about memory. Below is the block diagram of memory(ram) where all the data is temporarily stored before execution. Memory. The lower area of this diagram is referred as Low Memory address and upper area of this diagram is referred as High Memory address. Now let's briefly discuss each of the segments, one by one. Code Segment - The segment of memory where the text or code or your file is stored temporarily is referred as code segment. For example the main function, the function that we defined etc. Data Segment  - Data segment is of two types  Initialized data segment or simply data segment - The variables that are declared and initialized in our program are stored here. Uninitialized data segment .- The variables that are just declared or have value zero and not in use are stored here. Heap - Heap is a storage where generally dynamic memory allocation takes place with the help of pointers. If
