Course

C++ Programming, Comprehensive | CMPR.X404

---

C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming language that offers portability, speed, and modularity, as well as compatibility with C and other languages. Because most automation, embedded applications, gaming, and many large data processing applications are written in C++, it is essential that software developers understand and master it. Hardware engineers are increasingly using C++ and OOP in system verification tasks. This course offers an excellent foundation in developing optimized C++ applications. The participants will learn to write faster and modular code, and the debugging techniques, for real-world applications. There will be assignments and exercises to accompany the lectures.

Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of the course, you should be able to:

• Apply object oriented concepts to software development problems in C++
• Understand and use the basic programming constructs of C++
• Manipulate various C++ data types, such as arrays, strings, and pointers
• Write C++ code using principles of object-oriented programming
• Understand design patterns in C++ using singleton pattern
• Manage memory appropriately, including proper allocation/deallocation procedures

Topics Include:

• Principles of object-oriented analysis and design
• Stream classes for input/output and to read/write files
• User defined data types using structures and classes
• Declarations of identifiers, pointers, function pointers and references
• Reuse code and extend existing data types through inheritance
• Memory management and dynamic array declarations
• Create class/function templates and understand STL
• Use static member variables and static member functions
• Singleton design pattern using static member functions
• Declare friend functions and friend classes
• Function overloading and operator overloading
• Polymorphism concept using virtual function
• Understand exceptions handling techniques using try/catch syntax

Note(s): Students must have access to a C++ compiler.

Skills Needed: Experience with a high level programming language such as C. Advanced C programming is recommended.
