C++ Programming: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

 
Course: 327   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Create, compile and run C++ programs
  • Write functions, decisions, loops and exceptions
  • Declare, use and distinguish variables, constants, arrays, pointers and references
  • Define and implement classes to produce reliable, reusable code
  • Use STL classes and instantiate templates
  • Implement object-oriented designs using encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism

Course Benefits

C++ is a long-established, mainstream language used across a broad range of applications. This course provides a solid foundation in C++ for programmers without assuming experience with the C language. You acquire knowledge of key object-oriented programming concepts and gain valuable hands-on experience developing C++ programs.

Who Should Attend

This course is for those interested in programming with C++, including application and systems programmers, software engineers and their managers. Professional programming experience is assumed. C programming experience is not required.

Hands-On Training

Exercises provide you with extensive C++ programming experience and include:
  • Writing, compiling and executing C++ programs
  • Performing arithmetic computations and string operations
  • Defining and calling top-level and class member functions
  • Reading and writing formatted I/O
  • Using for loops and if/else decisions
  • Defining and using new classes
  • Managing dynamic data
  • Extending a class with inheritance
  • Overloading functions and operators
  • Instantiating templates

  • Performing arithmetic calculations and displaying results
  • Passing messages to objects
  • Using references for efficiency and constants for safety

Defining and calling functions

  • Passing arguments to functions and returning values from functions
  • Call-by-value vs. call-by-reference vs. call-by-address
  • Scope, duration and initial values of local temporary and parameter variables

Decisions, loops and logic

  • Making decisions with if/else
  • bool vs. int logical values
  • if/else statement "chains"
  • Performing loops with while and for
  • Equality, relational and logical operators
  • Increment and decrement operators

Arrays, pointers and strings

  • Declaring and using arrays and pointers
  • Storing strings in character arrays
  • Accessing array elements via pointers
  • Pointers vs. references
  • Standard string class and functions

Defining C++ Classes and Objects

Encapsulating higher-level data types

  • Public member functions and private data members
  • Protected class members
  • Constructors and destructors
  • Member initialization syntax
  • Self-reference: the this pointer
  • The class member operator (::)

Declaring, accessing and modifying objects

  • Manipulating arrays of objects, pointers to objects and references to objects
  • Invoking member functions
  • const member functions
  • Passing objects by value and by reference

Overloading and templates

  • Simplifying class interfaces
  • Function signatures
  • Overloading assignment (=) and insertion (<<)
  • friend functions and classes
  • Explicit copy construction
  • Avoiding default assignment and default copy construction
  • Using STL templates to define families of related classes

Separating interfaces and implementations

  • How separation supports code reuse
  • Building header files and code files

Extending Classes via Inheritance

Deriving new classes from existing classes

  • Construction and destruction of derived objects
  • Is-a-kind-of relationships
  • Reusability via incremental extensions
  • Base classes and derived classes

Utilizing polymorphic functions

  • Overriding virtual base class member functions in derived classes
  • Runtime lookup of functions through base class pointers and references

Managing dynamic data

  • Allocating and deallocating memory with new and delete
  • Handling errors with try and catch
