C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages, particularly in STEM fields. It is supported by a variety of compilers across most computer architectures and operating systems.
This tutorial will equip you with the skills to understand and write C++ code, starting from the fundamentals. Through numerous hands-on coding sessions, you will gain practical experience in writing, compiling, and debugging C++ programs.
You will learn to work with essential C++ constructs, manipulate data types such as arrays, strings, containers, and pointers, and identify and correct common programming errors. Additionally, you will develop a solid understanding of memory management, including proper allocation and deallocation techniques.
The course will also introduce object-oriented programming in C++, covering structs, classes, and objects. Various C++ problems will be explored and solved, and some of the latest features of the language will be examined.
Prerequisites: Participants are expected to have familiarity with the command line either on UNIX/LINUX or Windows.
