  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Computer Science
  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
In the course the student will work to gain programming skill in C++. It is not an introduction to programming, but may be used as such if the student is prepared to spend some extra time learning the foundations of programming. The course focuses on experimental work aimed to discover and learn concepts and limitations of the C++ programming language, as well as common programming practises. After the course the student will be able to:
  • Explain and compare C++ language features and be able to apply them to relevant problems.
  • Use the programming environment and tools provided by a standard Linux/UNIX system.
  • Explain the workings of existing C++ implementations and examples.
  • Write readable well structured solutions to small programming problems.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
  • Programming experience in at least one imperative language such as Java, Ada or C.
  • Ability to find, read and understand relevant programming documentation such as books, tutorials and reference manuals.
  • Knowledge of common programming control statements, operators and types.
  • Know several of the general concepts of references, pointers, exceptions, classes, functions, dynamic memory, namespace, templates, enumerations and inheritance.
  • Understanding of the program execution environment and insight in one programming paradigm.


Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Organisation:
The course consist of
  • A web-based self-study course in how to use the departments computer system.
  • A set of 8 lectures introducing each concept in the C++ language. Course material will only be handed out and presented during lectures.
  • 104 hours (or more depending on previous knowledge) of self studies.
  • A set of computer laborations performed in pairs.
  • A final individual computer exam with problems similar to the practised. The exam will be performed on real computers with real programming tools and result in real (working) solutions. A "chat" system for feedback and live correction of exercises will be present. Reference manual (book or other) and one page of notes will be allowed.


Course contents:
C++ language features including control statements, operators and types, references, pointers, exceptions, classes, functions, dynamic memory, namespaces, templates, enumerations, inheritance and polymorphism. Programming environment and tools, including the compiler g++, the build tool make, and the text editor (and more) emacs.
