Course Syllabus

This document provides details about a "Higher level language" course that teaches C++ programming. The course is 39 lecture hours and 6 lab hours over 15 weeks. It introduces students to programming concepts in C++ like data types, operators, functions, arrays, classes and object-oriented programming. Students will complete homework assignments, quizzes, and a final exam to assess their understanding of programming in C++. Regular attendance is required to pass the course.

Lecture hours Laboratory hours Workshop hours

39 6 0

4. Prerequisites:
5. Course definition:
C++ (pronounced cee plus plus) is a general purpose programming language. It has
imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing the
facilities for low level memory manipulation.
6. The mission of the course:
The course fully covers the basics of programming in the “C++” programming
language and presents the fundamental notions and techniques used in object-oriented
programming. It starts with universal basics, not relaying on object concepts and gradually
extends to advanced issues observed in the objective approach.
7. Student learning outcomes:
Knowledge
- To familiarize the trainee with the universal concepts of computer programming.
- To present the syntax and semantics of the “C++” language as well as basic data
types offered by the language
- To discuss the principles of the object-oriented model and its implementation in the
“C++” language
- To demonstrate the means useful in resolving typical implementation problems with
the help of standard “C++” language libraries
Skills
- Understand and use the basic programming constructs of C/C++
- Manipulate various C/C++ datatypes, such as arrays, strings, and pointers
- Isolate and fix common errors in C++ programs
- Use memory appropriately, including proper allocation/deallocation procedures
- Apply object-oriented approaches to software problems in C++
- Write small-scale C++ programs using the above skills.
