C++ Programming: Classes and Data

University of London International Programmes and Goldsmiths University of London via Coursera

Overview

This course is the second of five courses aiming to help you to become confident working in the object-oriented paradigm in the C++ language. This specialisation is for individuals who want to learn about objected oriented programming. It's an all-in-one package that will take you from the very fundamentals of C++, all the way to building a crypto-currency exchange platform. During the five courses, you will work with the instructor on a single project: a crypto-currency exchange platform. Whilst building the project, you will learn about a range of programming techniques from basic control flow and input/output through to file parsing, object-oriented techniques and user interaction on the console. In this second course, you will start learning about C++ classes. You will learn about header files, class member functions, and select appropriate data types to represent a dataset in a C++ program. Upon completing the course, you will be able to: * Select appropriate data types to represent a dataset in a C++ program * Describe how a class can be used to combine multiple pieces of data into one unit * Write a class with functions
