• Pointers: Introduction, Declaring Pointer Variables, Initialization of Pointer variables, accessing a Variable through its Pointer, Pointer Expressions, Pointer Increments and Scale Factor. Introduction, Defining a structure, declaring structure variables, accessing structure members, structure initialization, array of structures. File Management in C: Introduction, Defining and opening a file, closing a file, Input/output and Error Handling on Files.
• Part 4 - Introduction to C++ and Advanced Object-Oriented Concepts
•  Introduction to C++ and Advanced Object-Oriented Concepts :
• The initial section of the course provides an overview of C++, emphasizing its roots in object-oriented programming (OOP). Participants delve into the fundamentals of OOP, exploring the concept of classes and the general form of a C++ program. Classes and objects are introduced, covering friend functions, friend classes, inline functions, parameterized constructors, and static class members. Learners gain insights into the execution of constructors and destructors, the scope resolution operator, and the nuances of passing and returning objects in functions. The module then progresses to arrays, pointers, references, and dynamic allocation operators, addressing arrays of objects, pointers to objects, the "this" pointer, and pointers to derived types.
• Part 5 - The Finish Line
•  Advanced C++ Concepts, Inheritance, and Exception Handling :
• The course Advanceds into Advanced C++ concepts, including function overloading, copy constructors, default function arguments, and function overloading ambiguity. Learners explore operator overloading, covering member and friend functions, as well as overloading new and delete operators. Inheritance is a focal point, discussing base-class access control, protected members, multiple base classes, constructors, destructors, and virtual base classes. Virtual functions and polymorphism are explored in detail, encompassing hierarchical virtual functions, pure virtual functions, and the application of virtual functions with a comparison of early vs. late binding. The module then transitions to templates, covering generic functions, applying generic functions, and the power of templates. Exception handling fundamentals are introduced, including handling derived-class exceptions, exception handling options, and their application. The course concludes with an exploration of the C++ I/O system basics, covering streams, classes, formatted I/O, and file I/O, including opening and closing files, reading and writing text files, and detecting EOF. Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of Advanced C++ concepts, positioning them to apply these principles in real-world programming scenarios.
