Course detail

Language C++

FSI-SCPAcad. year: 2024/2025

C++ is a modern programming language, with a focus on high performance. It is widely being used in very different contexts and has excellent support in both tools and libraries. The course provides the basics of C ++ and an introduction to object-oriented programming. Introduces students to classes, objects, the concept of heredity, etc.

Entry knowledge

The basic knowledge and experience with programming language (C#, Java ) are expected.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The evaluation of the course consists of points for the semestral project (presentation of a Java program) (70 %) and points for unassisted homework (30 %) . The condition for obtaining course credits is to obtain at least 50% points from the semestral project.
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. Lessons are planned according to the week schedules. Absence from lessons may be compensated by the agreement with the teacher supervising the seminars.

Aims

The aim of this course is to get up-to-date on modern programming techniques, up to and including C++19. There is a wealth of numerical libraries for scientific computing in C++. Students will be able to develop modern scientific applications.
Students will obtain the basic skills and experiences of program writing and debugging using programming language C++.

Syllabus

The PC labs are focused on practical usage of the topics discussed in lectures, see Syllabus. Emphasis is placed on the ability to work independently, ie to create a simple application, often within individual tasks.
Students will get acquainted with the tools for the C ++ programming language:
Visual studio 2019, MSBuild, CMake, vcpkg, Armadillo, Eigen, MKL atd.
