Multimedia is the media that uses multiple forms of information content and information processing (e.g. text, audio, graphics, animation, video, interactivity) to inform or entertain the user.
Multimedia also refers to the use of electronic media to store and experience multimedia content.
Elements (building blocks) of multimedia include:
i. Text : Text and symbols are very important for communication in any medium. With the recent explosion of the Internet and World Wide Web, text has become more the important than ever. Web is HTML (Hyper text Markup language) originally designed to display simple text documents on computer screens, with occasional graphic images thrown in as illustrations.
ii. Audio : Sound is perhaps the most element of multimedia. It can provide the listening pleasure of music, the startling accent of special effects or the ambiance of a mood-setting background.
iii. Images : Images whether represented analog or digital plays a vital role in a multimedia. It is expressed in the form of still picture, painting or a photograph taken through a digital camera.
iv. Animation : Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways.
v. Video : Digital video has supplanted analog video as the method of choice for making video for multimedia use. Video in multimedia are used to portray real time moving pictures in a multimedia project.

- Given the following class,

Given the following class,
class summation{
int num;
long sum; //summation of num
public:
void set_sum(int n);
void show_sum () {
cout <}
};
void summation::set _sum(int n)
{
int i;
num = n;
sum = 0;
for(i=1; i<=n; i++)
sum += i;
}
a) create a C++ function called make_sum() that returns an object of type summation. Have this function prompt the user for a number and then construct an object having this value and return it to the calling procedure.Demonstrate that the function works.
b)The function set_sum() was not defined in line within the summation class declaration. Give a reason why this might be necessary for some compilers.

Most C++ compilers supply nonstandard functions that allow cursor positioning and the like. If a compiler supplies such functions, create a function called myclreol() using C++ language a function that clears the line from the current cursor position to the end of the line. However, give this function a parameter that specifies the number of character position to clear. If the parameter is not specified, automatically clear the entire line. Otherwise, clear only the number of character positions specified by the parameter.

In the C++ standard library is the function strtol(), which has this prototype:
long strtol|(const char*start, const **end, int base);
The function cnverts the numeric string pointed to by start into a long integer. The number base of the numeric string is specified by base. Upon return, end points to the character in the string immediately following the end of the number. The long integer equivalent of the numeric string is returned. base must be in the range 2 to 38. However, most commonly, base 10 is used.
Create a function called mystrtol() that works the same as strtol() except that base is given the default argument of 10. Demonstrate that your version works correctly.
