Course detail

Basics of Programming in C++

FEKT-BPC-PPCAcad. year: 2025/2026

Learn basic constructs of programming in C ++ and practice them. Constructs for program construction in C ++ will be introduced and explained: Non-object properties, objects (access rights, member data and functions, this, constructors, destructors, operators), inheritance, templates, streams. Basic work with standard libraries.

Aims

The aim is to learn basic programming skills in the field of object-oriented programming and programming practices in C ++.
The graduate is able to:
- use non-object language extensions
- design a program using basics of object-oriented programming
- design and use the objects
- basic orientation in object-written programs,
- write an object-oriented program with basic use of inheritance, including virtual functions,
- use streams for I / O operations,
- create simple templates, use exceptions.

Study aids

Not applicable.
