Introduction to Computer Programming 2 (CMPT 1020)

• Review of C++ basics procedural programming (arrays; pointers and dynamic memory allocation; iterative and recursive functions; procedural programming)
• Object-oriented programming basics (structures; classes as abstract data types; public members vs private members of a class; information hiding, accessors and mutators; constructors and destructors; separating class specification from class implementation)
• Object-oriented concepts (static class members vs instance members; member-wise assignment; copy constructors; operator overloading using non-member and member functions; friend functions; inheritance, class hierarchies and protected members; aggregation; polymorphism and virtual functions; abstract base classes and pure virtual functions)
• Exception handling (throwing an exception; catching and handling exceptions; exception classes and object-oriented exception handling)
• Templates (function templates; class templates)
• Introduction to data structures and algorithm (An introduction to efficiency analysis of algorithm; C++ STL arrays and vectors; STL containers and iterators; stacks and queues; linked listed)
• Basics of C++ programming for embedded systems
