C++ Programming By Example - Why Use Classes and Structures?

This video introduces the concept of classes and structures in C programming, explaining their role as objects and their benefits, such as code reuse and encapsulation. It highlights the flexibility and power of object-oriented programming, making code maintenance and extension easier. The video concludes with a brief look at what will be covered in the next video.

What is the primary role of classes and structures in C?

• To reduce the memory usage

• To serve as containers for code

• To increase the speed of the program

• To make the code more complex

How do classes and structures help in code management?

• By making the code less flexible

• By increasing the number of lines of code

• By allowing code to be reused and encapsulated

• By making the code harder to read

What is an example of encapsulating an idea in a class?

• Using global variables to store shape properties

• Writing separate functions for each property of a shape

• Creating a class for a rectangle with properties like area and edges

• Avoiding the use of classes altogether

What are the benefits of object-oriented programming mentioned in the video?

• It reduces the need for testing

• It allows for easy maintenance and extension of code

• It makes the code less readable

• It limits the use of functions

Why is object-oriented programming considered powerful?

• Because it makes the code run faster

• Because it is a new programming paradigm

• Because it allows for easy maintenance and extension

• Because it uses less memory
