Course detail

Practical Programming in C++

FEKT-BPC-PPCAcad. year: 2020/2021

Basic aim of this course is learning C++ basics like C extension (C basics are learned in previous courses).
The C++ extensions are: non object C++ features, Basic object features, standard libraries. There are also learned object programming concepts and tools for C++ programming.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

Ing. Miloslav Richter, Ph.D.

Department

Department of Control and Instrumentation (UAMT)

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The student is able:
- design programs with non object language extensions
- design a program using objectoriented programming
- create program with objects (acces rights, member data, methods, operators)
- read simple object oriented programs
- write object oriented C++ programm with inheritance, polymorphism (virtual methods)
- to use streams for input and output,
- to make basic template design.

Prerequisites

Attend BPC-UDP course and pass BPC-ALD course or similar.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods include lectures and computer laboratories. Course is taking advantage of www pages coupled with e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to write a single project during the course.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Written exam - based on the material covered in the course - 60pts. Access to the exam is conditional - 13pts from project are required.
Project - program with classes, processed continuously - 40pts. One project for four students group.
Project topics and deadlines (partial, final) will be set during the semester.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction. C overview - data types, programming techniques, algorithms.
2. Comparing C and C++. Object programming in C++ - features and design.
3. Work with references. Object definition, methods. Work with this pointer.
4. Function and methods overloading. Implicit parameters.
5. Constructors and destructors. Variable life cycle. Visibility and reachability of the variable content.
6. Operators. Friend functions.
7. Inline functions and methods.
8. Standard inputs and outputs, stream concept, basic libraries.
9. Inheritance in object programming.
10. Multiple inheritance.
11. Virtual methods.
12. Abstract classes and their using in object oriented concept.
13. Exceptions and their principles. Templates and generic programming.

Content of seminars: practical exercises based on lecture topics.
