To provide both theoretical and practical foundations
of object-oriented programming, using C++ as the reference
programming language.

Prerequisites

The concepts and basic techniques of
imperative programming as provided in
Foundamentals of Programming A.

Course unit content

Programming foundations. Object-oriented programming. C++ programming language.

Full programme

Class and object declaration. Accessing member
functions and data of a class - Class constructors -
A sample class: 'rational' - Function and operator overloading -
The 'string' class - Pointers and dynamic memory allocation.
Arrays and pointers - A sample class: 'int_vett' - The assignment
operator. The copy constructor. Class destructors - Object
life-time (hints) - Abstract data types (ADT).

Exception handling: motivations. Constructs for exception
handling in C++ - Parametric classes ('template'): declaration,
instantiation. A sample class: 'vett<T>' - Parametric functions
(hints) - Inheritance. 'public' vs 'private' derivation.
Multiple inheritance (hints).
