The C++ programming course is designed to introduce students to the C++ programming language and equip them with the skills needed to develop robust and efficient software applications. The course covers the fundamentals of programming using C++, including object-oriented programming principles, data structures, and the development of practical applications. Students will gain hands-on experience through programming assignments and projects, fostering a solid understanding of C++ syntax, features, and best practices.
Key Topics Covered:
1. C++ Fundamentals:
Provide students with a strong foundation in the syntax, semantics, and features of the C++ programming language.
2. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):
Introduce and reinforce key concepts of OOP, such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
3. Memory Management:
Teach students about memory management in C++, including pointers, dynamic memory allocation, and memory deallocation.
4. STL (Standard Template Library):
Familiarize students with the STL, which includes a collection of classes and algorithms for data structures, input/output operations, and other common programming tasks.
5. File Handling:
Cover file input/output operations in C++ and teach students how to read from and write to files.
6. Exception Handling:
Introduce exception handling mechanisms in C++ for robust error management.
7. Templates and Generic Programming:
Explore the use of templates to create generic and reusable code.
8. Advanced Data Structures:
Introduce advanced data structures such as linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs, and demonstrate their implementation in C++.
9. Concurrency and Multithreading:
Provide an overview of concurrency concepts and teach students how to implement multithreaded programs in C++.
10. Software Development Practices:
Instill good software development practices, coding standards, and debugging techniques.
11. Project Work:
Apply learned concepts in real-world projects to enhance practical skills and problem-solving abilities.
