Explain how to utilize wrapper classes for non-object data types so that wrapper methods may be built to solve the problem of mixing non-object and object-related values?

Polymorphism: Why is it needed especially from an OOP standpoint? What is the essential concept when you cast objects regarding Polymorphism/Inheritance? (Related Chapters 11,12,13, 19) Generics: Explain Generic Programming. Why is generics important as a data type regarding objects? Polymorphism and Objects: Explain an array of polymorphic objects in a single/double dimensional array. How do you access this? How do you process this? When would you use this?    Also, when the new topic/chapter is posted regarding File/IO: Write a few lines of code that allow you to save/retrieve this data from a file using the appropriate class/methods. Do this in two ways: StreamFile I/O and URL access. You can also illustrate this in your code via text (.txt) and binary (.dat) data access.  Also, write a few more additional lines of code illustrating StreamFile  I/O access for .txt and .bin files.

What do you specifically mean when you refer to something as an abstract data type?

Abstract classes and interfaces may both be used to accomplish the goal of defining the behaviour of common objects.Which factors should you take into account when deciding whether to utilise an interface or an abstract class?

Describe how function objects can be used to implement callback mechanisms.

Design and code a class in C++ that represents a single month of the year. It should have a single integer-typed data member to represent the month. Make sure to provide proper construction, access, and mutation for this member as well as input and output methods. In addition, methods for comparing two months chronologically for ordering would be useful as would a method to advance to the next month (note that January follows December and begins the cycle anew) or previous month. In fact, thinking about it, it might be good to be able to advance to a month an arbitrary number of whole months in the future or past: January '+' 5 = June; March '-' 5 = October. Place your Month class in a library. Write a test application (driver) for your class. Oh, and the programmers who commissioned this class wanted to make sure it could handle not only integer-valued representation of a Month but also either whole-word names or three-letter abbreviations for the Months. That means that they should…

Both abstract classes and interfaces may be used to specify the behavior of common objects.Which factors should you examine when deciding between an interface and an abstract class?

Introduction The Object Oriented software model is designed to create a new data type by using the Class structure. Therefore the various operations which define a data type, such as the common operators, assignment, etc., have a software architecture available to create those operations and data types. Assignment Description This assignment is an exercise in creating a complete class definition. A standard way to do that is to use a math data type. Here we define a Rational Number data type in a class called “Rational”. The distinctive feature of this type is the data is kept as numerator and denominator throughout all operations; there is no floating point representation used. The standard math operations, addition, subtraction, etc., are implemented, including the iostream overload. The student will not only come to understand what is required for a complete representation of such a type, but also learn about the internal mechanics of its C++ implementation. The student will be…

How can class fields be protected against unintended alteration is the question.
