Synopsis
Following on from FIT1002, this unit introduces the C++ language to students. The unit extends the FIT1002 concepts into more advanced object-oriented programming topics such as inheritance and polymorphism. C++ streams, pointers and arrays, classes, templates and the STL, along with the I/O class hierarchy will be discussed at length. Interactive programming techniques will be used to solve various programming exercises. The unit will give students a deeper understanding of programming and data structures by introducing recursion and dynamic data structures.
Outcomes
At the completion of this unit students will:
- demonstrate an understanding of the history and concepts of the C++ language and how C++ relates to other commercial languages, especially Java;
- be able to write programs making use of the features and capabilities of C++, comprising: Streams, Pointers, arrays and vectors, Classes, inheritance and polymorphism, Templates and the Standard Template Library, The I/O class hierarchy;
- be able to write programs involving abstract and dynamic data structures, and implement algorithms for searching, insertion and deletion;
- be able to implement algorithms that utilise recursion;
- be able to use files for persistent storage of data.
