OOP Using C++: Week 2

Synopsis
OOP Using C++: Week 2 begins with how pointers and references work and then moves on to the advanced use of functions. It also presents arrays and collections explores inheritance and polymorphism and ends with a discussion of special classes and friends. Sample listings complete with sample output and an analysis of code illustrate the topics of the day.

Audience
This course is for the beginning programmer or for the experienced programmer who wants to learn C++.

Time
10 hours

Product Code: CPPC02

After completing OOP Using C++: Week 2 the user should be able to:

Create and use pointers and references

Overload member functions and overload operators

Declare and use arrays

Reuse and extend existing types through inheritance

Declare multiple inheritance and declare classes for virtual inheritance

Create abstract data types and implement pure virtual functions

Use static member variables and static member functions

Day 8: Pointers
Shows how to declare and use pointers.  Explains what the free store is and how to manipulate memory.

Day 9: References
Examines how references differ from pointers.  Shows how to create references and use them.  Identifies the limitations of references.  Demonstrates how to pass values and objects into and out of functions by reference.

Day 10: Advanced Functions

Day 11: Arrays
Discusses what arrays are and how to declare them.  Explains what strings are and how to use character arrays to make them.  Examines the relationship between arrays and pointers.  Illustrates how to use pointer arithmetic with arrays.

Day 12: Inheritance
Explains what inheritance is.  Shows how to derive one class from another.  Tells what protected access is and how to use it.  Discusses what virtual functions are.

Day 13: Polymorphism
Examines what multiple inheritance is and how to use it.  Discusses virtual inheritance.  Explains what abstract data types are.  Covers what pure virtual functions are.

Day 14: Special Classes and Functions
Shows how to use static member variables and static member functions.  Illustrates how to create and manipulate pointers to functions and pointers to member functions.  Demonstrates how to work with arrays of pointers to functions.
