DD2387 Program System Construction Using C++ 6.0 credits

Development of C++ from Simula to ISO standard.

All parts of C++ according to the ISO standard including classes, simple and multiple inheritance, generic functions and classes, exceptions, constant declarations, streams, name spaces, type equivalence and type compatibility, the pre-processor.

Program construction using C++: good programming style, object oriented development in C++, rules of thumb and hints for design and implementation of programs in C++, support for modularization and memory handling, making the code effective, common errors and traps, debugging, static and dynamic linking, portability.

The laboratory part consists of two laboratory assignments and a project assignment. The laboratory part will take about 100 hours.

The goals of the course are to give the students

• good knowledge of all parts of the C++ programming language
• knowledge of and proficiency in methods for developing, i.e. design, implementation, testing, and debugging, programs in C++
• good knowledge of the difficulties with and the weaknesses of C++ and methods to overcome them

so that they will be able to

• develop functioning program modules in C++ in an effective way.

Single course students: 90 university credits including 45 university credits in Mathematics or Information Technology. English B, or equivalent.

Knowledge of object orientation or Java programming corresponding to DD1361 Programming Paradigms, DD2385 Software Engineering, DD1344 Fundamentals of Computer Science, DD1346 Object-Oriented Program Construction, DD1332 Object Oriented Programming or 2D1343 Computer Science and Numerical Methods.

To be announced at least 4 weeks before course start at course web page. Previous year: J. Lajoie & S. Lippman: C++ primer.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 4.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.

Written examination (TEN1; 1,5 university credits).
Laboratory assignments (LAB1; 4,5 university credits).
