C++ Programming - Part 1

Audience

Application developers software engineers systems engineers and programming specialists are some of the people who would benefit from taking this course. Anyone who designs and implements system-level programs or corporate client/server applications and anyone who maintains and updates existing client/server applications would be good candidates for this course. Participants should be fluent in the ANSI C programming language have a comprehensive understanding of the programming process and have exposure to the fundamental concepts of object-orientation. Students should either have knowledge equivalent to or have taken the C Programming series (courses 13201-13204) prior to taking this course.

Objective

• Identify the enhancements supported by a program written in C++ as compared to a C Language program.


• Identify the concept of classes and the components of a class in the C++ programming language.


• Identify the concept of objects and the member functions of an object in C++.

Unit 4: Objects and Member Functions

• Identify the code for defining objects and dynamically allocating memory to a class in C++.
• Identify the code for accessing the specified data members of a class.
• Identify the code for accessing a specified member function of a class.
• Identify the code to define an object of a class nested within another class.
• Declare the constructors and a destructor for a specific class in C++.
• Identify the features of this Pointer.
