Course Information
Catalog Course Description
This course is intended to give advanced programming techniques, as well as further experience in programming. Topics covered will be: advanced object-oriented programming techniques and programming with classes (function overloading, templated classes, inheritance), pointers, linked lists, stacks, queues, debugging and profiling, reusable software (using/creating libraries), visual/GUI programming, exception handling, multi- threaded programming and synchronization.
Course Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Reinforce the basics of computer systems and programming: describe how the data is stored in the memory, the internal representation of numeric and non-numeric data, and how they can be manipulated at the bit level; demonstrate the use of preprocessor, compiler and linker in the context of source code processing and explain their roles. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Understand, implement and use auto, static, extern and dynamically managed data types and structures: describe how various data types and structures (e.g., pointers, user-defined plain-old and other data types and classes) are allocated and used; implement basic data structures, such as arrays, various types of linked lists, stacks and queues, using dynamic memory allocation techniques in C++. |
| 3. | Understand, implement, and use object-oriented programming: design/develop rich classes with constructor(s), destructor, deep/shallow copy constructor, move constructor, assignment operator and operator overloading sharing objects through reference parameters/pointers; use/develop classes with inheritance, including the concepts of overriding and polymorphism; use/develop templated functions and classes as well as function overloading when necessary. |
| 4. | Understand, implement, and use advanced concepts: demonstrate the use of exception handling, concurrent applications, and graphical user interfaces. |
Course Objective
