Consider two objects, A and B, which each refer to two
memory blocks xi and yi (i = 1, 2,...). Think of A and B as
strings and of xi and yi (i = 1, 2,...) as the characters
they contain.
Shallow copy
One of them is the shallow copy. In this process B is
attached to the same memory block as A. This is otherwise
known as address copy
Deep copy
An alternative is a deep copy. Here the data is actually
copied over.
Example:
class base
{
public:
int i;
base()
{
i=0;
}
base(int j)
{
i=j;
}
};
main()
{
using namespace std;
base *p1=new base(23);
base *p2;
//Shallow copy, here we are using pointers and we are
copying content of one pointer to another.so address will
get copied.
p2=p1; // address is copied
cout<<"\naddress of P1:"<<p1;
cout<<"\nvalue at p1:"<<p1->i;
cout<<"\naddress of P2:"<<p2;
cout<<"\nvalue at p2:"<<p2->i;
delete p2;
cout<<"\naddress of P1 after delete:"<<p1;
cout<<"\nvalue in P2 after delete:"<<p2->i;
//DEEP copy, here we are creating objects and we are
copying content of one object to another.So content will
get copied.
base o1(67);
base o2;
o2=o1;//contents are copied. But, the addresses
remained different
cout<<"\nvalue in o1:"<<o1.i;
cout<<"\nvalue in o2 after copy:"<<o2.i<<endl;
return 0;
}
output:
address of P1:0x00323C88
value at p1:23
address of P2:0x00323C88
value at p2:23
address of P1 after delete:0x00323C88
value in P2 after delete:-572662307
value in o1:67
value in o2 after copy:67

What is class in oop with example?
Write a program to compute for numeric grades for a course. The course records are in a file that will serve as the input file. The input file is in exactly the following format: Each line contains a student's first name, then one space, then ten quiz scores all on one line. The quiz scores are in whole number and are separated by one space. Your program will take it input from this file and sends it output to a second file. The data in the output file will be exactly the same as the data in the input file except that there will be one additional number (of type double) at the end of each line. This number will be the average of the student's ten quiz scores. Use at least one function that has file streams as all or some of its arguments.
