Learning Objectives
LO1 To engender an appreciation for the need and characteristics of Object-
orientation.
LO2 To impart knowledge of the C++ language grammar in order to design and
implement programming solutions to simple problems by applying Object-
oriented thinking.
Prerequisites: Should have studied Commerce in XII Std
Unit Contents No. of
Hours
Object Oriented Programming Concepts: Complexity in software
- The need for object-orientation – Abstraction – Encapsulation –
I Modularity – Hierarchy. 12
Basic Elements of C++: Classes – Objects – Data members and
member functions – private and public access specifiers - Static
members - Constructors – Singleton class - Destructors
Friend Functions and Friend Classes - Array of objects – Pointer
to objects - this pointer – References – Dynamic memory
allocation - Namespaces.
II Function Overloading: Overloading a function - Default 12
arguments – Overloading Constructors.
Operator Overloading: Overloading an operator as a member
function – Overloading an operator as a friend function
Overloading the operators [], (), -> and comma operators –
Conversion Functions. Inheritance: Types of inheritance –
III protected access specifier –Virtual Base Class – Base class and 12
derived class constructors. Run-time Polymorphism: Virtual
Functions

Function overriding - Pure virtual function – Abstract base class.
IV Templates: Function templates – Overloading a function template 12
– Class templates.
Exception Handling: Exceptions – try, catch, throw – Rethrowing
an exception – Restricting exceptions - Handling exceptions in
derived classes - terminate(), abort(), unexpected(),
V set_terminate(). 12
I/O Streams: Formatted I/O with ios class functions -
Manipulators – Creating own manipulator – Overloading << and
>> operators.
Total (Theory + Practical) 60
