Question
Chapter 7.7, Problem 7.9CP
Program Plan Intro
Constructor:
Constructor is a function which initializes the instance of a class. It also initializes the values to the members after the memory space is allocated to objects.
- Whenever an object is generated, constructor is called by the compiler.
- It contains the same name of the class.
- A class can contain many constructors.
Constructor types:
There are 3 types of constructor. They are:
- Default:
- The default constructor does not contain any argument.
- Parameterized:
- The parameterized constructor contains arguments with it. It is also called as overloaded constructor.
- Copy:
- The copy constructor is used to take the values of the members of one object to another. It also takes argument with it.

TRUE OR FALSE:
In C++, comments that begin with the "multi-line" comment symbol can't be nested.
A member function of a class has access to only the public data members of the class.
If a C++ function does not take any parameters, parenthesis around the empty parameter list are still required.
The size of a pointer variable depends on the type that it is pointing to.
In C/C++, True or False:
A variable's type helps define the range of values that can be held by that type.
A variable's type helps define the operations that can be performed on that type.
A parameter that has a default value must be the first parameter listed in the function's parameter list.
In C++, a function contained within a class is
called
(A) a method
(B) a class function
(C) member function
(D) none of these
