Course Number:  C1

Course Description:  This is an introduction to Object-Oriented programming using the C++ language. The design and implementation of programs C++ using class libraries. The participant will work with C++, writing programs during class hours, there will be programming assignments to further enhance programming skills in C++. Topics include data types, in line and overloaded functions and operators, class types and members, access and protection of members and friends, constructors and destructors, and streams.

Objectives:  The participant will be able to: ·Write programs using all of the syntactic features of C++. ·Describe the principles and advantages of object-oriented programming. ·Describe the concepts of object-oriented programming. ·Use encapsulation. ·Use class libraries. ·Perform dynamic memory allocation with new and delete. ·Use default function arguments. ·Build abstract data types using classes. ·Create and use constructor and destructor functions. ·Use friend functions and friend classes. ·Describe and use Overloading. ·Use inheritance to build class hierarchies. ·Describe and use exception handling. ·Describe and use multiple inheritance. ·Describe and use I/O streams
