CPSC - 3145 Computer Programming: Introduction to C++ (3)

Covers C++ programming with emphasis on object-oriented programming. This is a course for students with C++ programming experience. A background comparable to CPSC-3142 will be assumed. Topics will include overloading functions and operators, friend functions, and other language features which enable programmers to create new data types which have all the capabilities of the built-in types. Special emphasis will be placed on the use of pointers, dynamic allocation of memory, and the development of classes which implement common data structures such as linked lists. Students will use the ANSI C++ compiler to write, run, and debug programs. Clarity and correctness of the resulting programs will be the primary evaluation criteria. Equivalent to CPSC-345. Prerequisite: take CPSC-3142.
