Course Overview

This C++ Programming course provides a solid foundation in C++ for students and enthusiasts. Learners will explore core programming concepts, control structures, functions, arrays, and object-oriented programming. Through practical projects, participants will gain the skills to build efficient, interactive, and well-structured C++ applications for academic or personal use.

Learning Objectives

Understand the Fundamentals of C++ Programming

Identify the purpose and applications of C++
- Describe areas where C++ is commonly used (e.g., systems programming, game development)
Set up a C++ development environment
- Install and configure tools like Code::Blocks or Visual Studio
Write and execute a basic C++ program
- Use main() function and include directives
Use basic input/output operations
- Use cin for input and cout for output
Work with data types and variables
- Declare and use int, float, char, bool, and string
- Understand constants and perform type conversions

Apply Program Control Structures

Implement conditional logic using if-else and switch statements
- Create branching logic based on user input or conditions
Use loops for repeated execution of code
- Write for, while, and do-while loops
- Understand the role of break and continue
Nest control structures effectively
- Build logic involving loops within conditionals and vice versa
Develop simple interactive applications
- Create a menu-based program or quiz using learned control structures

Utilize Functions and Arrays for Structured Programming

Define and call custom functions
- Use parameters and return values
- Understand function prototypes
Distinguish between local and global variable scopes
- Identify where variables are accessible within a program
Work with one-dimensional arrays
- Declare, initialize, and manipulate arrays
Perform common operations on arrays
- Traverse, sum elements, find averages, and search for values
Design modular programs
- Break large tasks into smaller reusable functions

Implement Object-Oriented Programming Concepts in C++

Understand core OOP principles
- Encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism (basic introduction)
Define and use classes and objects
- Create class blueprints and instantiate objects
Use constructors and destructors
- Initialise and clean up object resources
Apply access specifiers to manage data access
- Use public, private, and protected keywords effectively
Develop basic inheritance structures
- Create base and derived classes
Build a real-world inspired project using OOP
- Apply OOP design in a school or banking system project
