The End of the Ride

-

Choo Choo!!! And we have finally reached our destination. This blog will be the coda of our series on the Railway Reservation System project using Object Oriented Programming. The group has come a long way after posting weekly blogs from the start of the semester. We tried to make this series as interesting and as fun as possible. But as they say “Gratitude always goes both ways.” We also have learnt quite a bit from this blog series. Being Engineering students the idea of writing a content blog was so mysterious to us but as we reach towards the fag end of the blog series, we can muster some courage and say that our content writing skills have certainly ameliorated.



Just to give a brief overview of what we have learnt so far right from the first blog, I’d like to say that we started of by discussing what object-oriented programming actually means and how it is different from the quintessential procedural programming. Further we discussed why do we actually need OOP for writing our code. In the following blog we mentioned about how object-oriented programming towers over the procedural blocked programming. In this we discussed about the various concepts of Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, etc. Then came the conundrum of deciding which programming language to choose for the project. Not to be biased or anything but all of us mutually decided to go for C++.
In the further blogs we discussed about what objects and classes actually are and how we will use them in our project. Now coming to the ending of our blog series I hope it is easy for everyone to differentiate between objects and classes and these basic concepts are ingrained deep within. Moving onto the implementation of the project we decided what will the base class be and what will the derived class be. We tried to make it a point that the concepts of Inheritance we clear in this blog. In the coming blogs we discussed about data hiding of public, protected private data members and also described about Virtual Functions. Then after this we actually started implementing our project and in the coming blog, we discussed about the functions like booking a ticket, cancelling a ticket etc. We discussed different ways to actually delete an element from the sequence. Further we tried to imbibe the concept of different types of memory allocation be it static memory, automatic memory or dynamic memory. Further we decided to discuss about function overloading, overriding and operator overloading. All of these are important concepts in the field of OOP and if you unfortunately missed them please check them out first. In the further blogs we thoroughly discussed about describing all the functions that we have used in our project. Finally coming to prior blog, we discussed about the future scope of the project using MySQL and our approach for the project in IOT.

So, to all the avid programmers out there, this was a very small representation of the actual world of programming. If you are really interested in OOP please solve OOP questions on the different websites like :



Also, if you have any query or doubt about the project then feel free to leave a comment down here.
Thank you for reading!
It was our pleasure :)

Types of Memory Allocation

-

In C++, memory allocation can be broadly categorized into three types namely- 1. Static memory allocation: In the static memory allocation, memory is allocates before the execution of the program begins means during the compilation. In simple language, static memory means, how much memory we needed in a program is known to us. In this allocation, pointer is necessary to access the variables. It is implemented using stacks and heaps and variables remain permanently allocated. More memory space is required for static memory allocation. 2. Automatic memory allocation : It is closely related to local variables and uses stack based memory allocation. Whenever a local variable is created, it is pushed into stack. Object is immediately constructed after memory allocation and it is destroyed just before memory deallocation. 3. Dynamic memory allocation : In the dynamic memory allocation, memory is allocated during the execution of program. It is allocated only when progr...

Do you have a ticket?

Passengers, you have booked a seat in this journey. Can you show us the ticket? Ticket is an essential necessity whenever you travel in a train. So now that your seat is booked we will issue a ticket to you, which will help you travel with us hassle-free. Lets print the ticket! The function printticket() will take the value of head node and print the ticket. void passenger :: printticket(struct node *head) {                 struct node *p=head;                 char name1[20];                 cout<<"\n Enter the name of passenger to print ticket:\n"; The traversal in the list to display registered passengers.                   while(p)    ...

Reserve Me A Seat!

Ever reserved a seat in a cinema? Which seats would you prefer? Corner seats - 🚫 , Centre seats - ✔️ Do you think there is any priority for allocating you a seat in a cinema? No, there is no condition based allocation. What about buses and trains? Yes there can be priority wise allotments. There can be several criteria for determining the priority. When we talk about the Railway Reservation System , what can we take into consideration for determining the Priority ? Age : We can prioritize the reservation for senior citizens Gender :   We can prioritize the reservation for female citizens Disability : Handicapped citizens are given the priority Quota : General waiting   > Tatkal > foreign quota In one of our previous blogs, we went through the reservation – booking and cancellation blocks. After the user inputs all the above information during booking process, we can check the priority at administrat...
