In class vector, inside public those two three lines are written, Please explain the constructor function and also below two lines of code.
class Vector {
public:
Vector(int s) :elem{new double[s]}, sz{s} { } // constr uct a Vector
double& operator[](int i) { return elem[i]; } // element access: subscripting
int size() { return sz; }
private:
double∗ elem; // pointer to the elements
int sz; // the number of elements
};
>Solution :
Vector(int s) :elem{new double[s]}, sz{s} { }
This {} is also used to assign or initialize data in variable.
Vector(int s) is a constructor which is allocating a dynamic array of size s and assigning address to pointer elem and also assigning s into the private variable sz.
double& operator[](int i) { return elem[i]; }
this function is returning reference to double and taking an int as argument and returning reference to the ith element of elem. *(elem + i)
int size() { return sz; }
size function is returning the private member sz, which is basically the size of the vector.
