CAP455:OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING USING C++
L:3 T:0 P:2 Credits:4
Course Outcomes: Through this course students should be able to
CO1 :: define the fundamental concepts of object oriented programming
CO2 :: understand the working of pointers, arrays and strings
CO3 :: apply dynamic memory management in polymorphism and inheritance to solve real world
problems
CO4 :: analyze the unexpected situations and manage them using exception handling mechanism
Unit I
Principles of OOP and C++ essentials : procedural vs object oriented programming paradigms,
Input/output streams, classes and objects, structure vs union, enumerations and classes, static data
members and functions, user defined functions, inline function, friend function and friend class,
reference variables, differentiate among call by value, call by address and call by reference, recursion
Unit II
Handling pointers, arrays and string : pointer vs reference variables, void pointer, pointer
arithmetic, pointer to pointer, dangling pointer, wild pointer, null pointer assignment, pointers as class
member, pointer to objects, this pointer, pointer to data member, array declaration and processing of
multidimensional arrays (inside main and inside class), array of objects, standard C++ string class-
defining and assigning string objects, modifiers of string class
Unit III
Constructors, destructors and managing file operations : features of constructor function,
default constructor, constructor vs normal function, parameterized constructor, copy constructor,
initializer lists, constructor with default arguments, destructor, opening and closing of files, modes of
file, file stream functions, reading/writing of files, sequential access and random access for file
processing, binary file operations, classes and file operations, structures and file operation
Unit IV
Operator overloading, type casting and re-usability : importance of operator overloading, unary
operator overloading, binary operator overloading, type conversions - basic type to class type and
class type to basic type, importance of re-usability (inheritance), basics of inheritance – base class
and derived class, types of inheritance (simple, multi-level, multiple, hierarchical and hybrid), modes
of inheritance (private, protected, public), overriding of member functions, order of execution of
constructors and destructor, resolving ambiguities in inheritance, virtual base class
Unit V
Dynamic memory management and polymorphism : importance of dynamic memory allocation,
dynamic memory allocation using new and delete operators, memory leak and allocation failures,
virtual destructor, compile time polymorphism vs run time polymorphism, virtual functions, pure
virtual functions, abstract classes and concrete class, self-referential classes, early binding and late
binding, dynamic constructors
Unit VI
Handling exceptions, templates and STL : basics of exception handling, exception handling
mechanism, throwing exception mechanism, catching exception mechanism, re-throwing an
exception, function template and class template, class template and inheritance, introduction and
importance of Standard Template Library (STL) - containers, algorithms and iterators, container -
vector and list
