C++ Programming

Installing a C++ compiler & editor, writing, compiling and running your first C++ program.

cin/cout, references, default arguments, and what changes when you move from C to C++.

Defining a class, creating objects, and understanding member variables & member functions.

Default, parameterized & copy constructors, and how destructors clean up objects.

Public, private & protected members, and why data hiding matters in OOP design.

Creating a derived class from a base class, and reusing code through inheritance.

Single, multilevel, hierarchical & multiple inheritance, with real class-hierarchy examples.

Writing multiple versions of a function or operator that behave differently by context.

Using virtual functions so the correct overridden method runs through a base-class pointer.

Pure virtual functions, abstract base classes, and designing interfaces in C++.

Using vector as a dynamic array, and traversing containers with iterators.

Choosing the right STL container for the job — map, set, stack & queue basics.

Using try, catch & throw to handle runtime errors gracefully.

Reading & writing files using fstream to persist data between program runs.

Writing generic functions & classes that work with any data type using templates.

A final project combining classes, inheritance, polymorphism & STL — planned and built independently.
