Object Oriented Programming : The Foundation of OOP

Object oriented programming is a paradigm that models programs as objects, combining data attributes and code methods, where data is accessed only through member functions and kept hidden.

Explore fundamentals of object oriented programming by examining objects, classes, and instances, and how encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism support reusable, extensible designs through class hierarchies and abstraction.

Learn how structures group simple variables into complex data types in C++, define and initialize structure members, and compare structures with classes for data organization.

Define and use enumerations (enum) to create variables with a fixed set of named values, like days of the week, enabling clearer, safer code and simple integer arithmetic.

Explore overloaded functions, inline functions, and recursive functions in this module, with examples of print and add overloads, inline pounds-to-kilograms, and the Fibonacci-based recursive solution.

Explore arrays as collections of values of same data type, including 1D and 2D arrays, reading and writing, and passing them to functions. Learn fixed sizes, bounds, and exception handling.

Explore how the C++ string class solves memory management and enables operations like concatenation, find, replace, substring, erase, insert, and append. Learn input and output with getline and overloaded operators.

Explore how constructors initialize objects, support overloading and default values, demonstrate copy constructors, and show how destructors deallocate memory when objects are destroyed.

Explore static class data and shared members, their lifetime, and how they track information like total objects; examine const member functions and const arguments that prevent modification.

Explore how to overload operators in C++ to make custom types read like native types, covering prefix and postfix increment, return values, and binary operator logic.

Explore operator overloading in C++ by implementing addition, comparison, and addition assignment for distance and string classes, including converting to feet and using boolean results.

Explains derived and base class constructors, initializes inherited data members, and demonstrates overriding, access control (public, protected, private), scope resolution, and concepts like multiple inheritance and composition in C++.

Explore virtual functions and polymorphism by overriding show in shape subclasses, and use base pointers to invoke derived implementations, including abstract classes, pure virtual functions, friend functions, and static members.

Explain file streaming in C++ using ifstream, ofstream, and fstream to read from and write to disk files, open in different modes, and handle eof and errors.

Explore binary streaming in c++ input and output streams, using get and put pointers. Learn to use tellg, tellp, seekg, and seekp to manage binary data positions.

Learn exception handling in C++ by using try, throw, and catch to transfer control during errors such as division by zero, and handle diverse causes gracefully.

Explore UML class diagrams as the static view of a model, showing classes with attributes and behaviors and relationships like generalization, aggregation, composition, and association.
