Course Description

Programming techniques in object-oriented programming, including data abstraction, inheritance,

polymorphism, and dynamic object creation. Emphasis will be place on the reusability of object
and the focus on object concepts as they deal with future program maintenance.

Goals

The goals of the Introduction to C++ Programming course are that students, by mastering the top-
ics presented in this course, gain valuable problem-solving skills and C++ knowledge that will en-
able them to become procient in object-oriented programming with C++ characteristics.

Objectives

CSCI 2843 Introduction to C++ - Course Syllabus Fall 2017 1

Fall 2017
CSCI 2843 Introduction to C++

Upon successful completion of the Introduction to C++ course, students will be able to apply the
object-oriented approach to develop and design robust and highly reusable classes and ap-
plications.

Course Content

The course covers fundamental C++ programming and Object-Oriented programming and design
techniques. Specically, the following topics will be included:

1. Object-oriented programming: class abstraction and encapsulation, and class inheritance.

2. Polymorphism: the power of virtual functions and dynamic binding

3. Exception handling: how C++ handles exception and how to incorporate exception-handling
capability into programs

4. I/O: I/O character and binary programming

5. Operator Overloading: Extending operators to integrate with user-dened classes

6. Templates: building generic classes and functions

Course Grade

The course grade will be calculated as follows:

12 Programming Projects (PP) @ 100 pts each = 1200 pts

Completion of Zybook participation and challenge activities = 200 pts

Total Points Possible: 1400

Grading Scale

The standard TCC 90-80-70-60 grading scale will be used.

Course Deadlines
Deadline is always at midnight on Friday of the indicated week

Submission of Programming Assignments

All programming labs must be submitted via Zybook.
