1. C++ as a Revised Version of C

• Recapitulation of curriculum provided in the previous term. Reference type.
• Function name overload. Default function parameters. Inline functions instead of macros. Constants and constant parameters.

2. Fundamentals of the Object-Oriented Programming in C++

• Principles of object-oriented programming, the concept of the object. Concepts of class, encapsulation, visibility, and information hiding.
• Constructors and destructors. Dynamic memory management: new, new[], delete, delete[]. Maintaining dynamic attributes.
• Attribute initialization. Constants and static members. Mitigation of visibility: friend mechanism. Namespaces. Introduction into C++ I/O.
• Concept of operator overloading. Realizing operator overloading with local operations and global operations. Restrictions.
• The role of the inheritance in object-oriented programming. Inheritance, derived class, base class. Influence of inheritance on visibility. Constructors and inheritance.
• Replacement possibilities. Virtual functions, abstract classes. Restricting inheritance. Virtual destructors.
• Multiple inheritance, virtual base classes. Automatic tasks of constructors and destructors.
• Type conversion. C++ conversion operators. Casting.
• Exception handling.
• The role of the generic data structures. Function and class templates.
• Standard Template Library (STL): containers and algorithms. Complexity considerations.

In lecture term:

• The continuity of learning is checked by Entrance Tests at computer laboratories, which is a pass/fail check. If a student fails the Entrance Test, he cannot take part in the computer laboratory (in other words his attendance is null).
• The quality of learning is checked by 5 Control Tests (max. 10 points each) at seminars.  
• There is no Entrance Test on the first computer laboratory.
• Two in-class Midterm Tests will take place during the semester.
• The student should submit a Project Assignment that requires the application of system and algorithm design, testing, and documentation skills. It should be submitted electronically at the course webpage. The student must always follow the directions of computer lab Instructor and use the file names, formats, etc. specified in the assignment (if any), or else his/her submission will not be accepted. Please note that Project Assignment may not be submitted by e-mail for any reason! 

The course is finished successfully, if

• the student is a regular attendant at the lectures, and computer laboratories; the absence cannot exceed 30% as it is defined in the Code of Studies and Exams (CSE), Article 14, Point 3. Absence at lectures and computer laboratories is taken separately.

• the three best Control Tests should score at least 40% each; 
• the average sum of two Midterm Test percental results should be at least 50% 
• the Project Assignment is prepared based on the specification, and it is personally accepted by computer lab instructor. Furthermore,
  • the full documentation is prepared, and
  • the software is approved by computer lab Instructor at personal defense.

All of the above conditions must be fulfilled, otherwise the term grade is unsatisfactory.

If all these conditions are fulfilled, the grade is calculated as follows:

• The average of the Control Tests is the average of the three best Control Tests. If anybody has less than three Control Tests, then the not written tests are considered with 0 points.
• The final grade is the weighted average of the Control Tests and the Midterm Test. The Midterm Test has doubled weight.

The grade, calculated based on these rules, can be modified by a computer lab instructor with +/-0.5. An instructor can make this decision based on a student's performance at the laboratories and the quality of the submitted Final Project. Rounding grade to the nearest integer number will be done using usual algebraic rules.
