Q.2 a. Object Oriented Programming
has two important philosophies : data
hiding and data abstraction.
Explain. (8)
b. What is the difference of C++ struct and C++ class? Is there any difference between C++ struct and C struct?
Explain with suitable examples. (4 + 4 = 8)
Q.3 a. The overloaded index operator [] returns by reference. What
implications will be there if it returns by value? Comment and justify. (8)
b. What is the role of an inline function? How does it differ
from macro? Illustrate with examples. (8)

suitable examples. (8)
b. What is the usage of this pointer? Can a static member
function of class refer to data pointed by ‘this’? (2 + 2 = 4)
