Answer Posted / chandra sekhar

what chandra said is correct.but it is not 100% correct.for
that answer i want to add one point.

whenever
1)there is a pointer in the base class and we allocated
with the help of new in base class and anthoer pointer in
derived class and agin we allocated with the help of new.
2)whenever the base class object pointer points to
derived class object,and is being created using new.
i.e class base - base class
in main - base bptr;
class derived - derived class
in main - bptr = new derived();

this will be illustrated with an example given below


#include <iostream.h>
class Base
{ protected:
int *ptr;
public:
Base()
{ ptr = new int[10];
cout<<"Constructor: Base"<<endl;
}
virtual ~Base()
{
cout<<"Destructor : Base"<<endl;
delete []ptr;
}
};
class Derived: public Base
{
protected:
int *ptr1;
public:
Derived()
{
ptr1=new int[10];
cout<<"Constructor: Derived"<<endl;
}
~Derived()
{
delete []ptr1;
cout<<"Destructor : Derived"<<endl;
}
};
void main()
{
Base *Var = new Derived;
delete Var;
}

if we are not placing virtual in base class, only base
class destructor will be called because "var is of type
Base".so,
if we are not placing virtual compiler will see only "type
of the pointer,not the object which it is holding".so,if we
place virtual it will see the object it is holding.

now memory allocated for ptr,ptr1 in heap was destroyed by
destructors of the respective class.

Am studying basic c++ programming, have been given the following assignment. Design a linear program to calculate the maximum stress a material can withstand given a force and a diameter of a circle. To find the required area pi should be defined. Have most of the program sorted out but am at a loss as to how to show the calculations required. Can anyone help?

Write a program which is required to process the time of a clock in hours and minutes, entered from the keyboard. With this program, there are two requirements for any data entered by a user: 1. The data must be of the correct type (in this case, two ints). 2. The data must be in the correct range: this means that, for the minutes, negative numbers and any number above 59 must be rejected; for the hours, negative numbers and any number above 23 must be rejected. Output error message for invalid data input. Output the time one and a half hour after the time input. i.e. Hour: 22 Min: 32 One and a half hour after 22:32 is 00:02
