UNIVERSITY OF  DELAWARE

CONTINUING EDUCATION

C++ Programming Spring 2005  

Notice:   This area will be used to keep you posted of any announcements, information, assignments, or just to say HI. It is suggested you link here each time you access this page to keep yourself up to date regarding class meetings, assignments and other relevant material. There is also information regarding open labs and printing material in class.

This is the main page for the C++ course. From here you will be able to link to other pages which contain information about the course. Reading assignments will be posted each week in order to prepare for the next class. All project assignments will be posted immediately before the class they are to be assigned. Some assignments will be designated for practice only and will not affect your grade. Other assignments will be required to be submitted. Each assignment will be clearly indicated as to its type, and what due date will apply.

Assignments

Reading assignments, lab assignments, and program assignments are posted here. The reading assignments have been posted so you can prepare by reading the material.  Lab assignments and program assignments are for practice and experience, and will not be required to be turned in for grading, but I will be glad to provide help and feedback. The procedure for this will be covered in the first night of class. Solutions to all of the exercises are posted to the web site.

Topics Covered

 Introduction:  C++ is an object oriented programming language that builds upon the programmer’s knowledge of C language.  Topics to be covered include the following:

·         Simple C++ programs and input/output

·         Built-in storage types; using const

·         Other storage types:  arrays, structures, pointers, references

·         Implicit and explicit type conversion

·         Dynamic memory allocation using new and delete

·         Class and object basics:  Encapsulation (public, private), friend classes

·         Constructors, destructors, copy constructors

·         Object pointers and keyword this

·         Polymorphism - functions:  inline and virtual functions; default arguments

·         Operator/function overloading

·         Class inheritance:  public, private, and protected access; single and multiple inheritance

·         Abstract classes and pure virtual functions  

Time Permitting we will touch on the following:

·         File input/output in C++

Prerequisites:   

“Introduction to Programming Concepts” and “C Programming” or equivalent knowledge or experience in C Programming language.

Grading:  

    There will be no exams, and the program assignments will not be evaluated for purposes of a grade, but to provide feedback for improvement. GRades will be based on attendance and the number of program assignments completed, and to some extent their quality.
