What Will I Learn?

• Understand the fundamental concepts of C++ programming
• Set up a C++ development environment
• Write and execute a basic C++ program
• Identify and use various C++ data types
• Declare, initialize, and use variables
• Understand and implement constants and their role in maintaining immutability in code.
• Apply arithmetic, comparison, and assignment operators in C++ to perform various operations.
• Understand operator precedence and its impact on expressions and operations.
• Implement conditional statements such as if, else, and switch to control program flow.
• Utilize ternary operators and nested conditional statements to handle complex decision-making scenarios
• Develop proficiency in using loops (while, do-while, for) to perform repetitive tasks.
• Control loop execution with statements like break and continue to manage loop behavior.
• Create and use functions including defining, calling, and overloading functions for modular programming.
• Manage function parameters and return values to ensure effective communication between functions.
• Differentiate between local and global variables and understand their scope and lifetime.
• Leverage lambda expressions and anonymous functions to write concise and flexible code.
• Work with arrays, including single and multi-dimensional arrays, to store and manage collections of data.
• Understand and apply object-oriented programming (OOP) principles such as classes, objects, encapsulation, and inheritance.
• Create and use constructors and destructors to manage object initialization and cleanup.
• Implement and understand polymorphism and abstract classes to design flexible and reusable code.
