C++ Programming

1. Introduction to C++ Starting with C++ How C++ evolved from C? Features of C++ Procedure-oriented programming OOP vs. procedure-oriented programming The basic anatomy of a C++ program Starting with a simple “Hello World” program Compiling, linking and running a C++ program 2. Object-Oriented Programming Concepts Abstraction Inheritance Polymorphism Data Binding Encapsulation Classes, subclasses and Objects 3. The Basics of C++ Base Data Types and sizes User-defined Data Types Variable Declarations, Variable Names Dynamic initialization of variables Constants and its types Character Constants String Constants Standard input and standard output Formatted input –cin Formatted output – cout Use of << and >> operators 4. Working with Operators and Expressions Operators Arithmetic Operators Relational Operators Assignment Operator Logical Operators Increment and Decrement Operators (++ and –) Operate-Assign’ Operators (+=, *=, …) Expressions What are Expressions? Operator Precedence Precedence and Order of Evaluation Conditional Expression Casting and type conversion 5. Controlling the Program Flow Decision control if if – else if – else if Loop Control while do – while for break continue Case Control switch goto 6. Using Functions/Procedures Why Functions? Anatomy of a Function Returning values from functions Arguments Passed by Value Passing Addresses of Arguments Concept of variable scope and scope rules Static and automatic variables Global variables 7. Pointers and Arrays Pointers What is a Pointer? Pointer Initialization Pointer Operators The & Operator C++ syllabus Pointer Arithmetic Functions and pointers Understanding Arrays Arrays Initializing Arrays Passing Arrays to Functions Pointers and Arrays Pointer to an Array Array of pointers Strings String I/O cin and cout member functions Standard C String functions Arrays of Strings 8. Binding data and functions Concept of a class Defining a class Creating an object Object Scope Data Abstraction Enforcing Data Encapsulation this’ Pointer Dynamic creation of objects Constructors and Destructors The Default Constructor The Destructor Parameterized Constructors Copy constructor Defining member functions Methods and access modifiers Accessing class data and methods Friend class and friendly functions Returning objects Arrays of Objects 9. Function and Operator Overloading Function Overloading Using overloaded functions C++ syllabus Rules for overloading Operator overloading and its uses Overloading unary and binary operators Overloading the assignment operator Overloading the << Operator Overloading the increment and decrement operator Dealing with strings using operators Converting data types Basic to class type Class to basic type Class to another class type 10. Reusing classes Inheritance-Base and Derived classes Inheritance types Scope Resolution operator Access Modifiers Access and Inheritance Constructors and Inheritance Multiple & Multilevel Inheritance Calling base class constructor Overriding base class members 11. Virtual functions and Polymorphism Virtual & non-virtual Overriding Virtual functions Rules for virtual functions Pure virtual functions Static and Dynamic Binding Virtual base classes 12.
