Master file:Main file that contains permanent data against which transactions are processed.
Transaction/movement files:Includes input and output files for holding temporary incoming and outgoing data.Used to update dynamic data on master files.
Reference file:It’s a file with a reasonable amount of permanency.Used for look up or reference purposes e.g. P.A.Y.E deductions.
Report file:Set of records extracted from data in master file used to prepare report which can be printed at a later date.Stores relatively permanent records extracted from the master files or generated after processing.
Back up/History file:Holds copies of data or information from computer storage and retain for historical use or back up.
Dump/work file:Used to hold data for security and recovery purposes or for temporary storage whilst other work is being carried out e.g. total earnings and deductions calculations (payroll processing).
Sort file
Mainly used where data is to be processed sequentially in a sequential process

The copy constructor is also involked when a function generates the temporary object that is used as the function's return value. With this in mind, consider the following output:
constructing nomally
constructing normally
constructing copy
This output was created by the following program. Explain why, and describe precisely what is occuring.
#include
using namespace std;
class myclass {
public:
myclass();
myclass(const myclass &o);
myclas f();
};
// Normal constructor
myclass::myclass()
{
cout << "Constructing normally\n";
}
// Copy constructor
myclass::myclass(const myclass &ocout << "Constructing copy\n";
}
// Return an object.
myclass myclass::f()
{
myclass temp;
return temp;
}
int main()
{
myclass obj;
obj = obj.return 0;

Given this particular defined class;
class strtype {
char *p;
int len;
public:
char *getstring() { return p;}
int getlength() { return len;}
add two constructor functions. Have the first one take no parameters. Have this one allocate 255 bytes of memory (using new), initialize that memory as a null string, and give len a value of 255. Have the other constructor take two parameters. The first is the string to use for initialization and the other is the number of bytes to allocate. Have this version allocate the specified amount of memory and copy the string to that memory. Perform all necessary boundary checks and demonstrate that your constructors work by including a short program.

Imagine a situation in which two classes, called pr1 and pr2, shown below, share one printer.Further imagine that other parts of your program need to when the printer is in use by an object of either of these two classes. Create a function in C++ called inuse() that returns true when the printer is being used by either and false otherwise. Make this function a friend of both pr1 and pr2.
class pri1 {
int printing; //...
public:
pr1 () {printing = 0}
void set_print (int status) {printing = status;}
// ...
};
class pr2 {
int printing;
// ...
public:
pr2 () {printing = 0;}
void set_prt status) {printing = status; }

void load_a(int n) { a= n; }
int ge() { return a;}
};
