2. (a) What is a copy constructor? Give a suitable example in C++ to 2

illustrate with its definition within a class and a declaration of an
object with the help of it.

Ans A copy constructor is an overloaded constructor in which an

object of the same class is passed as reference parameter.
class Point
{
int x;
public:
Point(){x=0;}
Point(Point &p) // Copy constructor
{x = p.x;}
:
};

void main()
{
Point p1;
Point p2(p1);//Copy constructor is called here
//OR
Point p3=p1;//Copy constructor is called here
}

(1½ Mark to be awarded if the copy constructor is explained

with an appropriate example)
OR
(​
1 Mark for correct explanation of copy constructor only without
an example)

(½ Mark for correct declaration of an object)

Section ‐ B
(Only for Python candidates)
1 (a) How is __init( ) __different from __del ( )__ ? 2

which is automatically invoked when we create a new instance of a
class.
__del__() is a destructor which is automatically invoked when
an object (instance) goes out of scope.

For Example:

def __init__(self):
self.data = 79
print('Data:',self.data,'created')

def __del__(self):
print('Data:',self.data,'deleted')
s = Sample()
