Objective of course:

To teach students the fundamental concepts of programming using C++

Course Outline:
C++ Programming basics, data types, (relational, binary, shift and bitwise) operators. Decision
making through if, else if, :? and switch statements. Loops using while, do while and for.
Functions: arguments, passing value by reference, default arguments, overloading, recursion,
returning by reference. Arrays: passing array to function, n-dimensional arrays, bubble sort,
character array, c-string. Pointers: address and reference, void pointer. Pointer and array, pointer
arithmetic, pointer and functions, structures: structure within structure. File handling in C: binary
mode & ASCII mode.Writing structure on file.
