Prerequisites
PB071 Principles of low-level prog.
Basic knowledge of programming and algorithmics (to the extent covered by the courses IB111, IB002), low-level programming (PB071), programming language principles and OOP (PB006). Students are also required to have user experience with Unix OS or similar, as homework is submitted and tested on a Unix server.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

there are 65 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
Course objectives
The goals of the course are to make the students familiar with the C++ programming language as defined by ISO C++17. The course focuses on the languages's semantics, user-defined data types (classes), work with the standard library. The students shall also get acquainted with various programming paradigms in the language's scope: functional programming, OOP, generic programming and metaprogramming.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course, a student should be able to:
- write C++ programs utilizing the tools of modern C++ as defined by ISO C++17;
- use a significant part of the standard C++ library;
- create user-defined data types (classes) in C++;
- understand the value semantics of C++ and explain the difference between this semantics and other popular languages' semantics;
- understand the principles behind resource management (incl. memory management) in modern C++;
- understand how the principles of object-oriented programming are realised in C++;
- have a basic understanding of generic programming and metaprogramming via templates in C++;
- use exceptions in an efficient and reasonable way;
- follow best practices guidelines for C++ programming.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to the semantics of C++, classes, strings, vectors (dynamic arrays).
  • Value and reference semantics of C++, closures (anonymous functions, „lambdas“).
  • The standard library: algorithms, containers, iterators.
  • Function and method overloading, the type system of C++, objects, namespaces, access.
  • Input/output in C++, operator overloading.
  • Exceptions, resource management (RAII).
  • Memory management in modern C++, smart pointers.
  • The realisation of object-oriented programming in C++.
  • Generic programming with templates.
  • Metaprogramming with templates, various useful parts of the standard library.
  • The iterator concept in more detail, own iterators' implementation.
  • Conclusion, an outlook into the future (C++20).
