C++ Programming

C++ programming is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that was developed as an extension of the C programming language. C++ was first introduced in the early 1980s by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs.

C++ has a similar syntax to C, but it includes additional features such as classes, templates, inheritance, and polymorphism that make it a more powerful and flexible language. C++ also supports generic programming, which allows you to write code that can be used with different data types.

The syllabus for a typical C++ programming course may include the following topics:

• Introduction to C++ programming: History of C++ programming, features of C++ programming, setting up the development environment.
• Data types and operators: Data types, arithmetic operators, relational operators, logical operators, assignment operators, bitwise operators, and type casting.
• Control structures: if-else statements, switch statements, loops (while, do-while, for), and break and continue statements.
• Functions: Defining functions, function arguments, return values, function overloading, and recursive functions.
• Classes and objects: Defining classes, creating objects, accessing class members, constructors and destructors, encapsulation, and inheritance.
• Polymorphism: Virtual functions, function overloading, and function overriding.
• Templates: Function templates and class templates.
• Standard Library: Containers (vector, list, map, set), algorithms (sorting, searching), and input/output operations.
• Exception handling: Handling runtime errors and exceptions.
• File handling: Opening and closing files, reading and writing files, and manipulating files.
• Dynamic memory allocation: Using new and delete to allocate memory dynamically.
• Smart pointers: Shared pointers, unique pointers, and weak pointers.
