Explore programming basics, compiler versus interpreter concepts, and the essentials of C++ development, including IDEs like VS Code, code setup, and future steps to write, compile, and run.
Set up a VS Code C++ project, write a simple program with iostream and cout, then compile with g++ and run to see output.
Explore the basic structure of a C++ program in VSCode, including #include <iostream>, using namespace std, int main, and return 0, with cout and cin for input and output.
Explore variables, data types, and operators in C++, declare and initialize ints, floats, doubles, chars, and bools; perform arithmetic, assignment, casting, constants, and modulus.
Master C++ basics from variables and data types to arithmetic, relational, and logical operators, and explore precision with set position; complete a basic calculator and a centimeters-to-inches unit converter.
Learn how to use if-else and switch case statements in C++ for beginners, including nested conditionals, else handling, and logical operator chaining to build robust decision logic.
Practice applying conditional statements in C++ by combining conditions with and, or, and not to grade input, and explore switch-case flows with default handling through a menu-driven calculator.
Explore loops and iterations in C++, including for, while, and do while loops, with break and continue, nested loops, and pattern printing.
Master loops and iterations in c++ through hands-on exercises, including a number guessing game, multiplication table, and pattern printing, using break, continue, and nested loops.
Explore C++ functions, including declaration and definition, parameters, return types, and overloading, plus global and local scope and function calls.
Explore hands-on exercises on C++ functions, including a prime-checker and a modular calculator, while examining variable scope, function declaration and return types, and practical use of switch-case.
Master one- and two-dimensional arrays in C++, with zero-based indexing and loop traversal. Learn inputting, printing, searching, bubble sort, and calculating averages for array data.
Master strings in C++ using c-strings and std::string, perform concatenation and length checks, and work through hands-on exercises with 2d arrays, matrix addition, and text character frequency.
Learn pointers and memory management in c++, including addresses and ampersand usage, declaring int* pointers, and passing arrays to functions with dynamic memory via new and delete.
Introduces references and contrasts them with pointers, explains alias versus address, showcases hands-on swapping with pointers, and covers dynamic memory with new and delete.
Learn object oriented programming by modeling real world entities with classes and objects, including constructors, destructors, and access specifiers.
Work through hands-on exercises in object oriented programming part one, creating simple classes and bank accounts with private and public members, constructors, and basic deposit and withdrawal operations.
Explore object oriented programming part two by mastering inheritance and the protected keyword. Learn constructor overloading, the this pointer, constant member functions, and composition concepts.
Explore composition in C++, building a person with an address and a bank account with a transaction, using object oriented programming concepts, classes, and parameterized constructors in hands-on exercises.
C++ is one of the most important programming languages used in software development, system programming, and game development. It’s also the foundation for learning data structures, algorithms, and competitive programming.
This course, C++ for Beginners, is designed to take you step by step from the very basics to building real-world projects. No prior programming experience is required — you’ll start by setting up your environment and writing your first C++ program, then gradually move into more advanced topics.
