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.
The capacity limit for the course is 60 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 24/60, only registered: 0/60, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/60
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
there are 66 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 basics of the C++ programming language as defined by ISO C++20. The course focuses on the languages's semantics, user-defined data types (classes), basic work with the standard library.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course, a student should be able to:
- write simple C++ programs utilizing the tools of modern C++ as defined by ISO C++20;
- use the standard C++ library on a basic level;
- 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++;
- use exceptions in an efficient and reasonable way;
- follow best practice guidelines for C++ programming.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to the syntax and semantics of C++, value semantics, references, const.
  • Compound values and types, records (struct), basic compound types in the standard library.
  • Extending types with methods and operators, overloading.
  • The lifecycle of a value, ownership, constructors, destructors.
  • Raw pointers, smart pointers, ownership via pointers.
  • Inheritance, late binding, OOP polymorphism, virtual destructors.
  • Exception handling, the RAII principle, resource management.
  • Closures (“lambda functions”).
  • Sum types in the standard library.
  • Algorithms, both classic and new (the “ranges” part of the library).
  • String manipulation.
  • Formatting, input/output.
