Erez Zadok

An intermediate introduction to the C and C++ programming languages. Topics include basic control structures and data types, functions and program structures, pointers and arrays, input and output system calls, classes and types, inheritance and object-oriented programming, exceptions and templates. Recommended for students who have already completed an introductory programming course and plan to take advanced courses that require familiarity with C or C++.

Intermediate programming concepts using the C language in a UNIX environment. Files, systems calls, stream I/O, the C preprocessor, bitwise operations, the use of make files, advanced formatting of input and output, conversions. Introduction to object-oriented programming using C++: classes, objects, inheritance, aggregation, and overloading. Suitable for all majors.
