Programming in C++

• select and use data types
• define and construct data structures and functions, including recursive, dynamic data structures and recursive functions
• use principles of structured program design and methods
• describe and use containers and iterators
• construct and demonstrate generic functions and classes (templates)
• use and define classes with encapsulation and constructors
• use pointers and arrays with memory management
• develop projects organized in multiple header and source files
• explain and apply the principles of abstract data types
• analyze and compare the complexity of different data structures and algorithms
• explain the C++ runtime system

The course teaches C++ for the working programmer. The focus is on how to make use of the C++ constructs and libraries for the most common kinds of problems in an efficient way and to write programs in an elegant and abstract way. This includes the effective use of C++ constructs and concepts as well as how to apply good engineering principles in C++.

Students are expected to have some programming experience with at least one programming language.

Normally, there are lectures/live-coding sessions in the first two hours, followed by exercises.

The course is also offered as an Open University course. More information on http://www.dtu.dk/english/Education/Continuing-education/Open_University
