Ultimate C++ Roadmap:

(Beginner to Advanced)

⏳ Estimated Duration: 3-6 months (based on dedication and


practice)

🔹 Why Learn C++? Applications (Game Dev, System Programming,
etc.)
🔹 Installing C++ (MinGW, GCC, Visual Studio)
🔹 Setting Up an IDE (VS Code, CodeBlocks, Dev-C++)
🔹 Writing & Running First C++ Program (Hello, World!)
📝 Exercises:
✅ Install C++ and set up your environment.
✅ Write and run a C++ program that prints "Welcome to C++!".

✅ PHASE 2: C++ Fundamentals (Weeks 3-4)


🕒 Daily Time Commitment: 2-3 hours
2. Variables, Data Types & Type Conversion

🔹 Declaring Variables & Assigning Values


🔹 Primitive Data Types: int, float, double, char, bool
🔹 Type Casting & Implicit Type Conversion
📝 Exercises:
✅ Assign and print different data types in C++.
✅ Convert an int to float and vice versa.
3. Operators and Expressions

🔹 Arithmetic Operators (+, -, *, /, %)


🔹 Comparison Operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=)
🔹 Logical Operators (&&, ||, !)
🔹 Bitwise Operators (&, |, ^, <<, >>)
📝 Exercises:
✅ Swap two variables without using a third variable.
✅ Write a program to check if a number is even or odd.

✅ PHASE 3: Control Flow (Decision Making & Loops)


(Weeks 5-6)

🕒 Daily Time Commitment: 3-4 hours


4. Conditional Statements

🔹 if, else if, else Statements


🔹 Nested Conditionals
📝 Exercises:
✅ Write a program that checks whether a number is positive,
negative, or zero.
✅ Create a program to determine if a year is a leap year.
5. Loops (for, while, do-while)

🔹 for loops (iterating over arrays, ranges)


🔹 while loops (condition-based execution)
🔹 do-while loop (execute first, check later)
🔹 Loop Control Statements (break, continue)
📝 Exercises:
✅ Print numbers from 1-10 using all loop types.
✅ Write a C++ program to generate the Fibonacci series up to 10
terms.

✅ PHASE 4: Functions & Modular Programming (Weeks


7-8)

🕒 Daily Time Commitment: 3-4 hours


6. Functions in C++

🔹 Defining and Calling Functions


🔹 Function Parameters and Return Values
🔹 Function Overloading (Same function name, different parameters)
📝 Exercises:
✅ Write a function that takes two numbers and returns their sum.
✅ Create a function that checks if a number is prime.
7. Header Files & Namespaces

🔹 Understanding #include and Preprocessor Directives


🔹 Using namespace std
📝 Exercises:
✅ Create a custom header file and use it in a C++ program.

✅ PHASE 5: Arrays, Strings, and Pointers (Weeks 9-10)


🕒 Daily Time Commitment: 3-4 hours
8. Arrays & Vectors

🔹 Single & Multidimensional Arrays

11. OOP Principles

🔹 Encapsulation (Using private & public Access Specifiers)


🔹 Inheritance (Single & Multiple Inheritance)
🔹 Polymorphism (Function Overriding & Virtual Functions)
📝 Exercises:
✅ Create a base class Animal and a subclass Dog that inherits from
it.

✅ PHASE 7: Advanced C++ Concepts (Weeks 13-14)


🕒 Daily Time Commitment: 4-5 hours

🔹 Smart Pointers (unique_ptr, shared_ptr)
📝 Exercises:
✅ Create a dynamically allocated array and manage memory
properly.

13. Standard Template Library (STL)

🔹 Vectors, Lists, Queues, Stacks, Maps


🔹 Sorting and Searching Algorithms
📝 Exercises:
✅ Implement sorting using std::sort().

✅ PHASE 8: File Handling & Exception Handling (Weeks
