COMP345 - fall 2015

Course Description

COMP 345 - Advanced Program Design with C++ (4 credits)

Prerequisite: COMP352 previously or concurrently. Introduction to C++. I/O with stream classes. Pointers and their uses. TheStandard Template Library (STL): containers, algorithms, iterators, adaptors, function objects. Class design: constructors, destructors, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, exception handling, memory management. Advanced topics: libraries, locales, STL conventions, concurrency, template metaprogramming. Applications of C++: systems, engineering, games programming. Project. Lectures: three hours per week. Laboratory: two hours per week.
