This lesson introduces students to Objects and Classes in C++, including constructors, destructors, function definitions, static members, objects as arguments, the default copy constructor, const correctness, and memory management. It is designed for AP Computer Science, Intro to C++, Object-Oriented Programming, College CS1/CS2, homeschool advanced programming, and coding bootcamps.

✨✨ What Students Will Learn ✨✨

✔ What Classes & Objects Are
✔ UML Basics for Understanding OOP
✔ Data Hiding (private vs. public)
✔ Member Functions (setters, getters, display functions)
✔ How Objects Are Created (instantiation)
✔ Calling Member Functions on Objects
✔ Using Classes to Model Real Objects (Student, Mobile, Height examples)
✔ Constructors (zero-argument, one-argument, multi-argument)
✔ Initialization Using Constructors
✔ Automatic Initialization When Objects Are Created
✔ Using Constructors for Realistic Behavior (House, Dice)
✔ Randomization & seeding inside a constructor
✔ Destructors & Automatic Cleanup
✔ Returning Memory in Destructors (dynamic allocation example)
✔ Objects as Function Arguments
✔ Member Functions Defined Outside the Class
✔ Returning Objects from Functions
✔ The Default Copy Constructor (object-to-object initialization)
✔ struct vs. class — key differences
✔ Memory Model of Objects (shared functions, separate data)
✔ static Data Members (shared across all objects)
✔ Tracking Object Count Using static Members
✔ const Member Functions
✔ const Function Arguments
✔ const Objects (calling only const-safe functions)
✔ Full Set of Real, Runnable Example Programs
