Summary

Module 1: Linux Environment


• Basic Linux commands (e.g., cd, ls, cp, mv, mkdir, rmdir, rm, cat, chmod, man)
• Advanced Linux commands (e.g., grep, wc, cut, diff, vi)
• File redirection using < and >

Module 2: Shell Script & Version Control


• Variables
• Input and output
• Quoting (single quote vs. double quote vs. back quote)
• Command substitution
• String manipulation
• Flow of control using if statements and loops (recall how to check file existence, successful
compilation etc.)
• Version control using Git

Module 3: C++ Basics


• Variables, constants, operators, data types, input and output
• Flow of control using if statements and loops

Module 4: Makefile
• Define dependency (e.g., abc.o: abc.cpp abc.h → abc.o depends on abc.cpp
and abc.h)
• Teach Linux how to get the target (write down the command below the dependency line
with a tab at the beginning)
• Variables (e.g., $(FLAGS)) and special variables (e.g., $@, $^, $<)
• Phony targets: not actually a target but can use make to call it (e.g., make clean)

Module 5: C++ Functions


• How to define a function and how to call a function
• void function vs. function that has return value (note how to define and how to call them)
• Scope of variables (e.g., local variables and parameters of a function)
• Pass-by-value (function cannot update the value of a parameter) vs. pass-by-reference
(function can update the value of a parameter)

Module 6: C++ Arrays & Strings


• Array of any data type (how to define and how to use)
• char array (also known as C-string)
• C++ string (functions available such as length(), substr(), find(), rfind(),
replace())
Module 7: Structs, File I/O & Recursion
• struct: customized compound data type containing 2 or more member variables.
Member function can also be defined.
• class: fundamental unit of object-oriented programming. A class can contain
class/instance variables/functions.
• File input and output (ifstream, ofstream, open(), fail(), close(), fin >>,
fout <<)
• istringstream: lets you extract strings from a long string using >> in which words
are separated by spaces
• Output formatting (e.g., showpoint, fixed / scientific, setprecision, setw,
setfill, left / right)

Module 8: Pointers, Dynamic Memory & Linked Lists


• Pointer: holding memory address of a variable
• Use * to declare and use & to dereference
• Use -> to access member fields of struct pointer variable
• Can use pointer variable and new keyword to declare dynamic array (size can be specified
at runtime)
• Linked list: basic unit is a struct, which contains next pointer pointing to next node
• Recall some basic operations: list traversal, head insertion, tail insertion, node deletion,
release memory

Module 9: C++ Standard Template Library (STL)


• 3 containers:
o vector = dynamic array
o list = doubly linked list
o map = balanced binary search tree
• Access items using iterators (similar to pointer and with * notation)
o Useful functions: push_back(), begin(), end()

Module 10: C programming & Debugging


• C is like a subset of C++ language
• Basic input / output using scanf() and printf()
• No string class in C and can only use char array
• Flow of control using if statements and loops
• Function and array
• Dynamic memory allocation using malloc() which returns a pointer. Note the use of
sizeof() and free() functions.
• C struct, typedef keyword
• GDB debugger
