The static member variable shares a common memory across all the objects created for the respective class. We need not refer to the static member variable using an object. However, it can be accessed using the class name itself.

A copy constructor is a constructor that accepts an object of the same class as its parameter and copies its data members to the object on the left part of the assignment. It is useful when we need to construct a new object of the same class.
Example:
class A{
int x; int y;
public int color;
public A() : x(0) , y(0) {} //default (no argument) constructor
public A( const A& ) ;
};
A::A( const A & p )
{
this->x = p.x;
this->y = p.y;
this->color = p.color;
}
main()
{
A Myobj;
Myobj.color = 345;
A Anotherobj = A( Myobj ); // now Anotherobj has color = 345
}

Class is a blueprint of a project or problem to be solved and consists of variables and methods. These are called the members of the class. We cannot access methods or variables of the class on its own unless they are declared static.
In order to access the class members and put them to use, we should create an instance of a class which is called an Object. The class has an unlimited lifetime whereas an object has a limited lifespan only.

C++ compiler encodes the parameter types with function/method into a unique name. This process is called name mangling. The inverse process is called as demangling.
Example:
A::b(int, long) const is mangled as ‘b__C3Ail’.
For a constructor, the method name is left out.
That is A:: A(int, long) const is mangled as ‘C3Ail’.

“Register†variable should be used whenever the variable is used. When a variable is declared with a “register†specifier, then the compiler gives CPU register for its storage to speed up the lookup of the variable.

The problem that arises during execution of a program is referred as exceptional handling. The exceptional handling in C++ is done by three keywords.
a). Try: It identifies a block of code for which particular exceptions will be activated
b). Catch: The catch keyword indicates the catching of an exception by an exception handler at the place in a program
c). Throw: When a problem exists while running the code, the program throws an exception

Access specifiers determine the access rights for the statements or functions that follow it until the end of class or another specifier is included. Access specifiers decide how the members of the class can be accessed. There are three types of specifiers.

cout<<c<<†“;}
void display(int a, int b)

Inline function is a function that is compiled by the compiler as the point of calling the function and the code is substituted at that point. This makes compiling faster. This function is defined by prefixing the function prototype with the keyword “inlineâ€.
Such functions are advantageous only when the code of the inline function is small and simple. Although a function is defined as Inline, it is completely compiler dependent to evaluate it as inline or not.

Similar to friend function one class can be made as a friend to another class. Let’s say X and Y are separate classes. When X is made friend to class Y, the member functions of Class X becomes friend functions to Class Y. Member functions of Class X can access the private and protected data of Class Y but Class Y cannot access the same of ClassX.
class X;
class Y
{
// class X is a friend class of class Y
friend class X;
... .. ...
}

The functions of the scope resolution operator include the following.
1. It helps in resolving the scope of various global variables.
2. It helps in associating the function with the class when it is defined outside the class.
The code of the scope resolution operator can be displayed as follows.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int my_var = 0;
int main(void) {
int my_var = 0;
::my_var = 1; // set global my_var to 1

All functions should return a value as per the general syntax.
However, in case, if we don’t want a function to return any value, we use “void†to indicate that. This means that we use “void†to indicate that the function has no return value or it returns “voidâ€.
Example:
void myfunc()
{
Cout<<â€Hello,This is my function!!â€;
}
int main()
{
myfunc();
return 0;

STL in C++ is a library and abbreviation of Standard Template Library. STL is a generalized library that provides common programming data structures/ container classes, functions, algorithms, and iterators. STL has four components
– Algorithms: Searching and sorting algorithms such as binary search, merge sort etc.
– Containers: Vector, list, queue, arrays, map etc.
– Functions: They are objects that act like functions.
– Iterators: It is an object that allows transversing through elements of a container, e.g., vector<int>::iterator.

A pure virtual function does not have implementation in base class. This will be useful during scenarios where no actual implementation is required in the base class context. For example let’s say we have a base class named Shape which is having a function “DrawShape()†as pure virtual. In base class there is actually no need to give a definition. Now, when a Class Square derives from Class Shape, it provides an actual definition for DrawShape() as drawing a square.

Though both codes will generate the same output, sample code 2 is a more performant option. This is due to the fact that the post-increment ‘itr++’ operator is more expensive than the pre-increment ‘++itr’ operator.
The post-increment operator generates a copy of the element before proceeding with incrementing the element and returning the copy. Moreover, most compilers will automatically optimize sample code 1 by converting it implicitly into sample code 2.

In C++, equal to (==) and assignment operator (=) are two completely different operators.
Equal to (==) is an equality relational operator that evaluates two expressions to see if they are equal and returns true if they are equal and false if they are not.
The assignment operator (=) is used to assign a value to a variable. Hence, we can have a complex assignment operation inside the equality relational operator for evaluation.

A class is said to be abstract when it contains at least one pure virtual function. Instantiation is not allowed for an abstract class. And the deriving class must implement or provide definition for the pure virtual functions.

Whenever there is a local variable with the same name as that of a global variable, the compiler gives precedence to the local variable.
Example:
#include <iostream.h>
int globalVar = 2;
int main()
{
int globalVar = 5;
cout<<globalVar<<endl;
}
The output of the above code is 5. This is because, although both the variables have the same name, the compiler has given preference to the local scope.

The scope of a variable is defined as the extent of the program code within which the variable remains active i.e. it can be declared, defined or worked with.
There are two types of scope in C++:
1. Local Scope: A variable is said to have a local scope or is local when it is declared inside a code block. The variable remains active only inside the block and is not accessible outside the code block.
2. Global Scope: A variable has a global scope when it is accessible throughout the program. A global variable is declared on top of the program before all the function definitions.
Example:
#include <iostream.h>
Int globalResult=0; //global variable
int main()
{
Int localVar = 10; //local variable.
…..
}

The declaration of a variable is merely specifying the data type of a variable and the variable name. As a result of the declaration, we tell the compiler to reserve the space for a variable in the memory according to the data type specified.
Example:
int Result;
char c;
int a,b,c;
All the above are valid declarations. Also, note that as a result of the declaration, the value of the variable is undetermined.
Whereas, a definition is an implementation/instantiation of the declared variable where we tie up appropriate value to the declared variable so that the linker will be able to link references to the appropriate entities.
From above Example,
Result = 10;
C = ‘A’;
These are valid definitions.

Comments in C++ are simply a piece of source code ignored by the compiler. They are only helpful for a programmer to add a description or additional information about their source code.
In C++ there are two ways to add comments:
//single-line comment
/* block comment */
The first type will discard everything after the compiler encounters “//â€. In the second type, the compiler discards everything between “/*†and “*/â€.
