C++ Programming - Beginners Class

Explore primitive and user defined data types in c++ including enums, structs, unions, and classes, along with derived types like arrays, pointers, and references, memory sizes, and floating point precision.

Declare and initialize variables in C++ using int, float, double, and char, and see how placeholders store data for computations. Compute the area and display the result with cout.

Explore how random numbers arise by chance and learn to generate random integers and doubles in C++ with rand and time-based seeding using srand for uniformly distributed sequences.

Learn to simulate rolling a die with a C++ program using a random number generator, generating values between 1 and 6, seeding with current time, and printing the result.

Explore instrumentation reliability by analyzing series and parallel component configurations, calculating system success probabilities using 0.8 as component reliability, and comparing analytical and simulation methods with a random number generator.

Explore recursion as a method to solve problems by reducing them to smaller versions, using a terminating condition and a recursive step, illustrated by calculating factorials.

Learn to implement a recursive factorial in c++ with iostream, using namespace std, input validation for nonnegative n, a factorial(n) function with base case n<2, and a demonstration that factorial(5)=120.

Demonstrates creating a cuboid class with public length, breadth, height, and volume and surface area methods to compute a cuboid's volume and surface area.

Demonstrates accessing a cuboid's length, breadth, height, and member functions via a pointer to the object. Shows dynamic allocation on the heap with new and computing volume and surface area.

Explain data hiding and encapsulation by showing how accessors and mutators control private properties in a C++ class, with getters and setters for length, breadth, and height.

Demonstrates non-parameterized, parameterized, and copy constructors using a cuboid class, showing default values, initialization with arguments, and copying objects to reproduce volume and surface area calculations.

Explore the this pointer in C++ by using a parameterized constructor to assign the length, breadth, and height for a cuboid, and resolve ambiguity between data members and arguments.
