Complete implementation of Queue linked list example (started on class) |
|
I give you the complete implementation of the Queue linked list example.
Note that the copy constructor implementation we did in class contains
errors. As a Midterm preparation, I strongly invite you to write the
implementation yourself and compile it. I intentionally provide a picture file so that you can't copy paste the program ! | |

IMPORTANT : Midterm 1 |
|
The first mid-term exam for COMP 322 course is in less than
two weeks (February 18th). The mid-term will be in-class and might last
for more than one hour (maximum 1h20). So, if you have another class or
another thing you can't miss just after the regular hour of COMP 322
(3:30-4:30) on February 18th, you MUST tell me so that we can find
another arrangement. If I don't receive anything I will assume that you can stay until 5pm on
Wednesday February 18th. | |

two problems among these will be part of the first mid-term exam ! | |

Description
In this course we will cover the main features of
C++ programming language. We will focus on the features that distinguish C++
from other programming languages, in particular Java and C, namely, pointers,
object oriented concepts, operator overloading, inheritance, templates, and the
standard template library (STL). We will not attempt to cover every single
concept of C++ but we will study the fundamental ideas underlying the language.
