Length : 2 days
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, destruction, 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
