Syllabus

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in C++

In this module, we will explore the foundational elements of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with a focus on C++. Starting with setting up your development environment, we'll guide you through essential data types and operators, user input methods, and basic arithmetic operations. This module sets the stage for more advanced topics by building a strong understanding of the basics.

Control Structures and Advanced Data Handling in C++

In this module, we will delve into more complex aspects of C++ programming, focusing on control structures, functions, and advanced data handling. You will learn to write programs using conditional statements, loops, and functions, explore variable scope, and work with arrays and pointers. By the end of this module, you will be proficient in creating robust C++ programs with advanced data manipulation techniques.

Advanced Object-Oriented Programming Concepts in C++

In this module, we will explore advanced Object-Oriented Programming concepts in C++, focusing on constructors, member functions, and static members. You will learn to manage file I/O operations, implement exception handling, and utilize the Standard Template Library (STL). This module will also cover the creation and usage of templates and operator overloading, enhancing your ability to write sophisticated and efficient C++ programs.

Inheritance and Abstract Classes in C++

In this module, we will delve into inheritance and abstract classes, essential concepts of Object-Oriented Programming. Through detailed case studies like the Employee and ATM systems, we will explore how to define and implement inheritance hierarchies using UML diagrams. By the end of this module, you'll be adept at creating complex class structures that promote code reuse and flexibility.
