Basics of Programming 2

VIAUAA01  |  Electrical Engineering BSc  |  Credit: 6  |  Official course details

Objectives, learning outcomes and obtained knowledge

This course, as a basic BSc course based on the previous term, continues the exposition of methods and tools of computational problems. The main goal is an introduction of object-oriented programming. Based on the C programming language skills, the object-oriented techniques are introduced with the help of C++ programming language. The curriculum of computer laboratories continuously follows the lectures

Synopsis

1. C++ as a Revised Version of C

  • Recapitulation of curriculum provided in the previous term. Reference type.
  • Function name overload. Default function parameters. Inline functions instead of macros. Constants and constant parameters.

    • 2. Fundamentals of the Object-Oriented Programming in C++

  • Principles of object-oriented programming, the concept of the object. Concepts of class, encapsulation, visibility, and information hiding.
  • Constructors and destructors. Dynamic memory management: new, new[], delete, delete[]. Maintaining dynamic attributes.
  • Attribute initialization. Constants and static members. Mitigation of visibility: friend mechanism. Namespaces. Introduction into C++ I/O.
  • Concept of operator overloading. Realizing operator overloading with local operations and global operations. Restrictions.
  • The role of the inheritance in object-oriented programming. Inheritance, derived class, base class. Influence of inheritance on visibility. Constructors and inheritance.
  • Replacement possibilities. Virtual functions, abstract classes. Restricting inheritance. Virtual destructors.
  • Multiple inheritance, virtual base classes. Automatic tasks of constructors and destructors.
  • Type conversion. C++ conversion operators. Casting.
  • Exception handling.
  • The role of the generic data structures. Function and class templates.
  • Standard Template Library (STL): containers and algorithms. Complexity considerations.
