Overview of all parts of C++ according to the ISO standard, including classes, simple and multiple inheritance, overloading, generic functions and classes, exceptions, constant declarations, streams, name spaces, type equivalence and type compatibility, the preprocessor.
Program design with C++: good programming style, procedure at object-oriented development in C++, rules of thumb and tips for design and implementation of C++ programme, support for modularisation, memory handling, making the program code more efficient, common errors and traps, Unicode and localisation, use of the standard library, tools for testing, troubleshooting, static and dynamic linking and name mangling, portability.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of the course, you should be able to
- program with dynamic memory allocation,
- apply the standard library,
- write correct C++ syntax,
- write test code,
- relate to advanced C++ literature,
- program generics with type parametrization,
- apply, in C++, your prior knowledge of object-oriented programming,
- model an extensive object-oriented project,
- present and justify an object-oriented model
in order to
- know that you master the whole language C++,
- with self-confidence be able to take part in C++ projects in the industry and develop or maintain the code.
