Assignment Operator:

         The Assignment operator simply assigns the value of the expression found in the right hand side.

  Syntax : variable = expression;

Copy Constructor:

         The copy constructor copies the data values from one object to another object.When we use statements like c1 = c2 where c2 & c1 are the objects of a class,the c++ compiler implicitly creates a copy constructor and copy the values of c2 to c1.we may also invoke the copy constructor as follows:  classname objectname1(objectname2);

Re:3rd question

Overloading means the ability to have more than one form.this is also called polymorphism.

it maybe method or operator overloading.

Overriding occurs when we have same method in both subclass and superclass

Re:6th Question:

polymorphism exhibits in two cases

1:method polymorphism.

2:operator polymorphism.

in method polymorphism we have same methods more than once  in the same class.

in operator polymorphism we have more than one meaning to an operator.

maps are data structures containing two entities index and dataindex->data

Q. Difference between "C structure" and "C++ structure".
Ans:- C structure cannot have member functions but C++ structure can have. Also in a C structure by default all data members of structure are public and access cannot be changed by specifying the private or protected keywords but in C++ eventhough by default members are public we may change the access using the keywords private and protected.
Q. What is the difference between "overloading" and "overridding"?
ans:- Overloading is a process of having the same function name but different no of arguments or types of arguments within the same class but overriding means redefining a baseclass functions definition in the subclass.
Q. Explain the need for "Virtual Destructor".
Ans:=Virtual destructor ensures destruction of subclass and base class objects in proper order.
Q. What are the different types of polymorphism?
Ans:-Overloading and overriding.
Q. What are the different types of Storage classes?
ans:-Auto,Register,static and extern
Q. What is the difference between "calloc" and "malloc"?
Ans:- calloc and malloc are used for dynamic memory allocation. Calloc initializes the memory locations to zero by default but malloc memory contains garbage values.
Difference between "printf" and "sprintf".
printf will write to the console. sprintf will write to the buffer

we  should not let the compiler's  copyconstructor to do the task,

By default the copy constructor and assignment operator are making so-called shallow copies of the object meaning that all of the member values will be copied. This works well if the members are values, but causes problems for members which actually points to dynamically allocated memory. The pointer will be copied - but not the memory it points to...this will result in having both members pointing to the same dynamically allocated memory.

Therefore, if you have a class with dynamic memory allocation a deep copy is required to guarantee that all members gets copied properly. To make a deep copy, you must write a copy constructor and overload the assignment operator.

class CFoo()
{
public:
// Constructor
CFoo() { m_pArray = new char[100]; }

// Destructor
~CFoo() { delete [] m_pArray; }

// Copy constructor
CFoo(const CFoo &refcSource)
{
// Allocate new space
m_pArray = new char[strlen(refcSource.m_pArray) + 1];

// Copy values
strcpy(m_pArray, refcSource.m_pArray);
}

// Assignment operator
CFoo& operator=(const CFoo &refcSource)
{
// Check whether it is the same instance
if(&refcSource != this)
{
// Release old memory
delete [] m_pArray;

// Allocate new space
m_pArray = new char[strlen(refcSource.m_pArray) + 1];

// Copy values
strcpy(m_pArray, refcSource.m_pArray);
}

return *this;
}

private:
char *m_pArray;
};

Assignment Operator is an operator which simply assign the value of right hand side object to left hand side object. Like int a=3; int b=a; then the value of b will be 3 But in case of array and objects say if we have two objects C1 and C2 then C1=C2 will copy the address of C2 into C1 thus we can access the same memory location with the other name.

 But in case of Copy Constructor it creates the new object and copy the values of all element in the previous object to the new object or we can say to the new memory location.

Note if we use assignment operator at the time of declaring an object it behaves like a copy constructor. say   object C1= C2 it will call copy constructor implicitly.

Copy constructor can copy all values of the variable of an object to another object.

But an assignment operator is used to initialise a variable.

It will compile in C but not in C++, since class in a reserved keyword
int main()
{ int class=7;
}

Namespace : It is a declarative region that provides scope to the identifiers inside it.
