Course Overview

This course introduces the fundamental concepts and principles of Object-Oriented Programming using the C++ programming language. Students will develop programming logic, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills while learning how to design and implement structured, reusable, maintainable, and efficient software solutions.

The course covers classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, function overloading, operator overloading, file handling, templates, exception handling, and the Standard Template Library. Emphasis is placed on object-oriented design, code reuse, modularity, maintainability, and practical problem solving using C++.

Course Schedule

Week	Topic	Description
1	Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and C++	Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, fundamental OOP concepts, object-oriented programming paradigms, advantages of OOP over procedural programming, and an overview of the C++ programming language.
2	Data Types, Operators, Control Structures, and Functions	Study of C++ data types, variables, constants, operators, expressions, decision-making statements, loops, control structures, and fundamental programming techniques.
3	Functions and Problem Solving in C++	Detailed study of function declaration and definition, parameter passing, return values, default arguments, inline functions, recursion, scope, and function-based problem solving.
4	Classes, Objects, Constructors, and Destructors	Introduction to classes and objects, data members, member functions, access specifiers, constructors, default constructors, parameterized constructors, copy constructors, and destructors.
5	Encapsulation, Function Overloading, and Operator Overloading	Study of encapsulation and data hiding using access specifiers, function overloading, and operator overloading. Students will examine compile-time polymorphism and its applications in C++.
6	Inheritance and Its Types	Introduction to inheritance, base and derived classes, access control, and different types of inheritance including single, multiple, multilevel, hierarchical, and hybrid inheritance.
7	Midterm Review and Examination	Comprehensive review of C++ programming fundamentals, classes, objects, constructors, destructors, encapsulation, function overloading, operator overloading, and inheritance, followed by the midterm examination.
8	Polymorphism and Virtual Functions	Study of compile-time and runtime polymorphism, function overloading, operator overloading, function overriding, virtual functions, pure virtual functions, base-class pointers, and dynamic binding.
9	Abstraction and Abstract Classes	Introduction to abstraction, abstract classes, pure virtual functions, interfaces, and the role of abstraction in object-oriented software design.
10	File Handling in C++	Study of file input and output operations using C++ file streams, including text and binary files, file opening and closing, reading, writing, appending, file pointers, and file management techniques.
11	Templates and Generic Programming	Introduction to generic programming using function templates and class templates. Study of template parameters, template specialization concepts, and reusable generic program design.
12	Exception Handling	Study of exception handling in C++ using try, catch, and throw mechanisms. Students will learn to identify, propagate, and handle runtime errors and develop robust programs.
13	Standard Template Library	Introduction to the C++ Standard Template Library, including containers, iterators, algorithms, vectors, lists, stacks, queues, sets, maps, and practical applications of STL components.
14	Object-Oriented Design and Problem Solving	Application of object-oriented principles to analyze and solve programming problems. Emphasis on class relationships, code reuse, modularity, maintainability, and efficient software design.
15	Advanced C++ Programming and Problem Solving	Integration of inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, templates, exception handling, file handling, and STL to solve comprehensive programming problems and develop efficient C++ solutions.
16	Review and Final Examination Preparation	Comprehensive review of object-oriented programming concepts, C++ programming techniques, common programming problems, and preparation for the final examination.
17	Final Examination and Course Review	Final examination covering the major theoretical and programming concepts of the course, followed by a comprehensive review and discussion of key object-oriented programming principles.
