Chapter 2   Abstract Data Types and C++ Classes

2.1 CLASSES AND MEMBERS

     A class is a new kind of data type. Each class that you define is a collection of data, and has the ability to include member functions. Member functions are incorporated into the class's definition and are designed specifically to manipulate the class.

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE: The Throttle Class

     

class throttle
{
  public:
           // MODIFICATION MEMBER FUNCTIONS
    void shut_off ();
    void shift (int amount);
           // CONSTANT MEMBER FUNCTIONS
     double flow() const;
     bool is_on() const;
  private:
     int position;
};

A class has some sections as follows :

    The class head. The head of the definition consists of the C++ keyword class, followed by the name of the new class. </
