  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Computer Science, Computer Engineerring

  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 extra time learning the foundations of programming. The course focuses on experimental work aimed to discover an learn concepts and limitations of the C++ programming language, as well as common programming practices. 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.

Supplementary courses:
Advanced C++

Organisation:
The course runs over the entire autumn semester and consist of:
  • An introduction to the department's computer system and tools (Linux).
  • A set of lectures introducing each of the areas of C++ language that we cover. Participating on lectures, lessons and labs is essential to gain all course content.
  • A set of computer laborations performed in pairs.
  • Self studies in order to prepare and complete each laboration on time.
  • A final individual computer exam with problems covering the topics discussed at lectures, lessons and labs.


Course contents:
  • Programming: Creating algorithms and problem solving.
  • Syntax: C++ language features including control statements, operators and types, references, pointers, exceptions, classes, functions, dynamic memory, templates, inheritance, polymorphism and the standard template library.
  • Tools: Programming environment, including the compiler g++, the build tool make, and the text editor Emacs.


Course literature:
C++ Primer (5th edition or later) by Lippman, Lajoie and Moo, or other relevant book covering C++2011 standard. See course homepage for further material and recommendations.
