Object Oriented Programming

This course introduces the concepts of object-oriented programming to students with a background in
the procedural paradigm. The course begins with a brief review of control structures and data types with
emphasis on structured data types and array processing. It then moves on to introduce the object-
oriented programming paradigm, focusing on the definition and use of classes along with the
fundamentals of object-oriented design. Other topics include an overview of programming language
principles, simple analysis of algorithms, event-driven programming, memory management.

Course Content:
Introduction to object oriented design, history and advantages of object oriented design, introduction to
object oriented programming concepts, classes, objects, data encapsulation, constructors, destructors,
access modifiers, const vs. non-const functions, static data members & functions, function overloading,
operator overloading, identification of classes and their relationships, composition, aggregation,
inheritance, multiple inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes and interfaces, generic programming
concepts, function & class templates, standard template library, object streams, data and object
serialization using object streams, exception handling.
