C++ Programming

Object Oriented Features – Fundamental OO features, embodied in C++ classes

• Basic OO concepts, example
• Classes: definition, attributes, methods

• File organization: header files, implementation files
• Minimum class functions: declaration, implementation

Objects – Two different types of C++ objects and safe ways of handling them

• Definition, UML syntax, comparison with classes
• Creating C++ objects: automatic, dynamic
• Automatic objects: syntax, proper style, common mistakes
• Dynamic objects: syntax, features, common mistakes
• Managing object pointers to keep them safe.
