Programming Basics C++

    The course has been made within the framework of the implementation project co-financed from European Funds (Knowledge - Education - Development programme) "MOOC at the West Pomeranian Business School” (POWR.03.01.00-00-W068/18-00)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

    The course is an introduction to C++ language programming. It presents basic constructions that are used in different programming languages. The most important of them include: conditional statements, loops and subprograms. Pointers allow to understand how data is stored in computer memory. Command of file support is necessary to store results of program works. A lot of attention was paid to object-oriented programming. The course presents ways of creating classes and objects, as well as operator overloading. You will learn about exceptions and abstract classes.

PRELIMINARY REQUIREMENTS

    Before starting the course, it is worth knowing computer operation and work basics. It is also advisable to have mathematical knowledge at a medium level. Command of English is highly desirable. All instructions used in programming include English words.
