Object Oriented Programming using C++
Subject Overview
This paper moves students from procedural C into object-oriented C++: classes, objects, constructors and destructors, all forms of inheritance, polymorphism (function/operator overloading, virtual functions, abstract classes), and basic file handling. A 3-credit core theory paper that underlies the OOP thinking used throughout the rest of the degree.
