Computer Systems
COMP 2617 - C++ for Object Oriented Software Development 1

This hands-on, intensive intermediate level course assumes a prior knowledge of object oriented programming, as detailed in the Prerequisites. Students will start their examination of the C++ language by comparing previously learned object oriented programming characteristics and mapping those onto the C++ programming language. Topics include: Classes, Control Statements, Arrays, Pointers, Stream Input/Output and the C++ string class. Since the C language is a subset of C++, students will also be learning some C programming. Upon successful completion, students will be able to continue to learn how-to program in C++ in the second part of this course, COMP 2618. Prerequisites: COMP 1409 and COMP 1451 or equivalent Object Oriented Programming experience. Note: Knowledge of the C programming language is NOT a Prerequisite for this course. (4 Credits)
