Update to assignment 1 |
|
The source code for assignment 1 has been updated slightly. Please
download the new version before completing your assignment. The only
change is that the symbol EOF is now ENDOFFILE to avoid
possible naming conflicts.
Slides for lecture 4 (memory management) are now available.
Finally, the bookstore informed me that they now have
Stroustrup's book in stock, if anyone is interested in picking up a copy.

Welcome |
|
This web page
will provide all the content and announcements of the course.
The first class will take place Wednesday, January 6th and we will
review the course organization and begin with an overview of the history,
motivation, and basic concepts of C++.
|
Description
C++ is a popular object-oriented programming language,
originally developed at Bell Labs by Bjarne Stroustrup from
1979-1983. C++ is descended from the C programming language
(Kernighan and Ritchie, 1978) and is an ancestor of the Java language
(Gosling, Joy and Steele 1996). This course will cover the essential
features of the C++ programming language. We will focus on the
features that distinguish C++ from Java (pointers, memory
allocation, templates) and C (classes, operator overloading,
namespaces, exceptions). We will touch on the some of the services
provided by the C++ standard library. Given the limited time
available in lecture, we cannot attempt to cover every single concept
of C++.
