C++ Short Course (optional)

An Introduction to C++ for Data Structures Students 

All programming assignments in the course will use C++. You will set up your programming infrastructure, and get a  very brief introduction to the language in your first lab. This (optional) tutorial gives a principled description of how the language works so you can avoid many of the typical C++ "gotchas."   (I strongly recommend that you watch these videos at 1.5x. :)  )

In this tutorial, we will learn how C++ implements:

  • Classes
  • Pointers
  • Arrays
  • Parameter passing
  • Return values
  • Constructors (reprise)
  • The Big 3
    • Memory management
    • Overloading operators
  • Inheritance (not included)
  • Templates (superficial)
  • Generic programming (not included)
