Course Description

This course provides an introduction to the C++ programming language for those who use C++ for design or verification.

To optimally benefit from this course, you must already have sufficient knowledge of the C programming language to be capable of writing non-trivial C programs.

In this course, you write and execute C++ code that includes C++ classes, member variables and functions, constructors, destructors, inheritance, and polymorphism.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Write and execute a simple C program
  • Organize your programming solution in terms of objects and their interactions
  • Write and execute a simple C++ program with classes and objects
  • Define class constructors to initialize class variables during object construction
  • Define class destructors to return unneeded memory to the heap
  • Define aliases for variables by defining reference variables
  • Achieve the best compromise between program reliability and runtime performance by appropriately choosing function argument passing by value, pointer, or reference
  • Simplify the application interface to the class by defining overloaded functions
  • Define data common to all objects of a class by defining static members
  • Describe and explain implicit type conversions automatically done by the compiler
  • Utilize an expression as something other than its natural type by explicitly converting its type
  • Provide an intuitive interface to class operations by defining overloaded operators
  • Define a class based on an existing class definition that inherits all members of the base class and optionally declares additional members
  • Defer function call name binding until run time by declaring functions with the virtual specifier
  • Define an interface common to multiple classes by defining pure virtual functions
  • Declare class variables whose values cannot be changed by declaring the variables with the const qualifier
  • Enable calling member functions of a const class object by declaring the functions with the const qualifier
  • Remove the “constness” of pointers and references by performing a const_cast operation
  • Define generic code to be specialized upon each use by defining function templates and class templates
  • Program graceful handling of “exceptional” conditions
  • Input and output data to and from programs
  • Diagnose incorrect program behavior
  • Store and manipulate data by using standard containers and standard algorithms

  • X300 Xcelium Single Core Simulator
