Abstract
Chapter 7 offers a meticulous exploration of the cornerstone of C++: classes and objects, ushering readers into the object-oriented paradigm. It commences with foundational topics on classes, their data members, and member functions. A thorough introduction to object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) and the historical development of the unified modeling language (UML) creates a framework for understanding modern software design. As readers progress, the chapter unfolds the nuances of defining classes, with a UML representation of a sample class 'GradeCourse'. Emphasis is placed on software engineering principles, encompassing set and get functions, constructors, and destructors. The crucial concept of encapsulation is elucidated with detailed discussions on header files, source files, and client files. This chapter delves deep into advanced topics such as constructors (default and overloaded), destructors, static members, operator overloading, and the significance of the 'this' pointer.
