Educational Aims of the Module


The main aim of the module is to introduce the more advanced style of programming, including application of modern
programming style for solving problems using a computer. Lectures build upon this basis and provide intermediate to
advanced programming knowledge in C++ programming language. Laboratory work and programming assignments
are an integral part of this module.

Module Outline/Syllabus

• Exceptions and exception handling.


• Pointers and pointer arithmetic.
• Dynamic memory allocation and memory management.
• Structures, classes and objects. Attributes and methods. Static attributes. Encapsulation and information hiding.
• Constructors and destructors. Shallow and deep copies. Copy constructors. Assignment operator.
• Operator overloading.
• Inheritance. Polymorphism. Virtual functions. Abstract base classes.
• Stream-based file handling.
• Templates. Generic functions and classes.
• Standard library containers and iterators (vectors, deques, lists, sets, etc.)
