Friend Function Lab Manual C++

This document discusses friend functions in C++. It provides 4 examples of how friend functions work: 1. A friend function called addFive() that can access private members of class Distance. 2. A global function disp() declared as a friend that can access private members of class XYZ. 3. A global friend function temp() that can access private members of class Temperature. 4. Making a class member function display() of class B a friend of class A so it can access A's private member x.

Friend Function
Working of friend function:-

Description:-
This following program is a simple example of working of a friend function. A friend function is
that function which can access both private and public members of the program. In the following
program addfive() is a friend function.

Example Code:-
// C++ program to demonstrate the working of friend function

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Distance {

private:

int meter;

// friend function

friend int addFive(Distance);

public:

Distance() : meter(0) {}

};

// friend function definition


int addFive(Distance d) {

//accessing private members from the friend function

d.meter += 5;

return d.meter;

int main() {

Distance D;

cout << "Distance: " << addFive(D);

return 0;

Output:-

Global Function declared as Friend:-

Example Code:-
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class XYZ {

private:
int num=100;

char ch='Z';

public:

friend void disp(XYZ obj);

};

//Global Function

void disp(XYZ obj){

cout<<obj.num<<endl;

cout<<obj.ch<<endl;

int main() {

XYZ obj;

disp(obj);

return 0;

Output:-
Global Friend function example:-

Example Code:-
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Temperature

int celsius;

public:

Temperature()

celsius = 0;

friend int temp( Temperature ); // declaring friend function

};

int temp( Temperature t ) // friend function definition

t.celsius = 40;

return t.celsius;

int main()

{
Temperature tm;

cout << "Temperature in celsius : " << temp( tm ) << endl;

return 0;

Output:-

Example #4:-

Description:-
The following example is to making class members as friend. The only difference is that we need
to write class_name :: in the declaration before the name of that function in the class whose
friend it is being declared. The friend function is only specified in the class and its entire body is
declared outside the class.

Example Code:-
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class A; // forward declaration of A needed by B

class B

public:
void display(A obj); //no body declared

};

class A

int x;

public:

A()

x = 4;

friend void B::display(A);

};

void B::display(A obj)

cout << obj.x << endl;

int main()

A a;

B b;

b.display(a);

return 0;
}
