Header files contain declarations for functions, classes, constants, and macros. They promote modularity and code reuse. By including them, you prevent redundancy and maintain organized code.

The #include directive instructs the preprocessor to include the contents of a file into the program before compilation. It helps incorporate standard or user-defined code and functions into the source file.

This line tells the compiler to use the standard namespace, allowing you to avoid writing std:: before standard library components like cout, cin, and endl, making the code cleaner and easier to read.

•  break exits a loop or switch statement entirely.
• continue skips the current iteration and proceeds to the next one.
• They help in controlling the flow of loops based on conditions.

Yes. C++ has a robust exception handling system using try, catch, and throw. It allows you to manage runtime errors in a structured way, making programs more reliable and easier to debug.

 C++ supports:

• Single-line comments using //
• Multi-line comments using /* */
• Comments improve code readability and help document logic

 No. The compiler and linker require a single main() function to determine where program execution should begin. Defining more than one main() will lead to compilation or linking errors.

C++ supports multiple programming paradigms:

• Procedural programming
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Generic programming through templates
• This flexibility allows developers to choose the most suitable paradigm for the task.

The main() function serves as the starting point of any C++ program. It defines the execution flow and can return an exit status to the operating system, indicating whether the program ended successfully.

C++ offers several built-in data types that serve as the foundation for all variables and expressions. These include:

• int for integers,
• float for single-precision decimal numbers,
• double for double-precision decimals,
• char for single characters, and
• bool for boolean values (true/false).

Beyond these, C++ supports derived types (like arrays, functions, and pointers) and user-defined types such as structures, classes, and unions. These data types help create complex data structures and support varied programming needs.

While both C and C++ are rooted in system-level programming, C is a procedural programming language focused on functions and structured programming. C++, on the other hand, introduces object-oriented programming (OOP), enabling the creation of reusable and modular code through classes, inheritance, and polymorphism. C++ retains the features of C while adding abstraction, encapsulation, and robust type-checking, making it suitable for both high-level applications and low-level system programming.

A class is a blueprint or template that defines the properties (data members) and behaviors (member functions) of a group of similar objects. An object is an instance of a class, representing a concrete entity with specific values and behaviors. Classes help organize code logically and promote code reuse through abstraction and encapsulation.

What is the purpose of constructors and destructors in C++?

• Constructors are special functions that are automatically invoked when an object is created. They initialize object data members and can be overloaded to handle different initialization scenarios.
• Destructors, on the other hand, are automatically called when an object goes out of scope or is deleted. Their purpose is to release resources, such as memory or file handles, and perform cleanup operations to ensure the program runs efficiently.

A pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable. It enables efficient data manipulation, dynamic memory management, and is crucial in building complex data structures like linked lists and trees.

Function overriding occurs when a derived class redefines a virtual function of its base class with the same name, return type, and parameters. It enables runtime polymorphism and allows custom behavior in subclasses.

An inline function suggests the compiler replace the function call with the actual function code, reducing overhead for small, frequently called functions. Declared using the inline keyword.

•  Call by Value: A copy of the argument is passed to the function. Changes inside the function don’t affect the original value.
• Call by Reference: The address of the variable is passed, allowing the function to modify the original variable directly.

Dynamic memory allocation refers to allocating memory at runtime using new (or malloc). It allows flexible use of memory for structures like arrays, especially when the size isn't known at compile time.
