COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Write programs in C++ that use arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, and recursion.

2. Explain how object-oriented programming uses abstraction to increase reusability of software.

3. Summarize the differences between programming paradigms.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Write programs that use each of the following data structures: arrays, records, strings, linked lists, stacks, queues, and hash tables.

2. Implement, test, and debug simple recursive functions and procedures.

3. Evaluate tradeoffs in lifetime management (reference counting vs. garbage collection).

4. Explain how abstraction mechanisms support the creation of reusable software components.

5. Design, implement, test, and debug simple programs in an object-oriented programming language.

6. Compare and contrast object-oriented analysis and design with structured analysis and design.
