WA1078 C++ Programming Course Outline 1. Perspective The software crisis Building software has been difficult Design techniques Large Software Systems Roots of Object Orientation What is OO programming? C++ and OO programming Why C++? Features of C++ Pros and Cons of C++ 2. The Language of Object Orientation What is an object? What is a class? Encapsulation Data hiding The public Interface Relationships among Classes Inheritance Polymorphism Object-Oriented Design 3. C vs C++ Comments Namespaces Performing Simple Output Performing Simple Input Definitions near to first Use Function prototypes The inline specifier const Structure Members The reference type Overloading function names Default parameters Scope resolution operator Aggregates Operators new and delete The bool Data Type The string Data Type 4. Fundamentals of Classes Data types Abstract data types Using the class concept How to define a class public and private access levels Using class objects like a built in type scope scope resolution operator Constructors Member Initialization Lists Destructors Array of Objects Pointers The this pointer Passing Objects to Functions Returning Objects from Functions Static class members 5. Operator Overloading Introduction Rules for Operator Overloading Rationale for Operator Overloading Overloading Member Functions Overloading Non-Member Functions friend functions The Copy Constructor Overloading the Assignment Operator Overloading [ ] Overloading increment and decrement operators const Objects & const references 6. Composition of Classes Relationships Composition of Classes The Point class The Line class Member Initialization Lists An Application w/ composition The Copy Constructor under Composition Operator= under Composition 7. Inheritance Introduction Inheritance public base classes Inheritance w/ public base classes Member Initialization Lists What isn't inherited Assignments between base and derived Objects Compile Time Binding vs. Run Time Binding virtual functions Polymorphism virtual destructors Pure virtual functions Abstract base classes An extended inheritance example 8. I/O in C++ The iostream library Pre-defined streams operator<< Overloading << for User-Defined Classes Overloading >> for User-Defined Classes Manipulators Stream states Formatted i/o Disk files Internal transmission of data Reading & Writing Objects 9. Advanced Topics Template Functions Template Classes Multiple Inheritance User-Defined Conversions Data Structures Iterators Exceptions Appendix 1. A Review of C Data Types Operators Decisions Loops switch Arrays Pointers Pointers vs. Arrays Structures enum
