C++ programming foundation

Description

C++ training course description

A hands on introduction to programming in the C++ language. The course concentrates on aspects that will be new to experienced C programmers and so is not suitable for those without C knowledge.

What will you learn

• Write C++ programs
• Debug C++ programs.
• Examine existing code and determine its function.
• Use classes, function overloading, operator overloading, inheritance and virtual functions within C++ programs.

C++ training course details

C++ training course contents

• The origins of C++

C++ as a better C, C++ and Object Oriented Programming, encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritance. C++ standards.

• Getting started

Simple C++ programs.

• Classes

Basics, constructor and destructor functions, member and friend functions. Using objects. Default, copy and conversion constructors.

• A better C

Arrays, pointers and references, new and delete. Improved safety with smart pointers, Resource Acquisition in Initialization (RAII).

• Functions in C++

Function overloading, default arguments, inline functions, Lambda functions.

• Templates

Template classes and functions.

• Standard Library

Containers, Iterators, algorithms, function objects.

• Operator overloading

Basics, binary operators, the this pointer, relational operators, unary operators. Members versus friends.

• Inheritance

Base class access control, protected members, multiple inheritance, virtual base classes.

• More I/O

Manipulators, customising inserters, extractors. File I/O.

• Virtual functions

Pointers to derived classes, run time polymorphism.

• Exception handling

Throwing errors, trying code and catching errors.
