English

Course content

1 section • 7 lectures • 5h 27m total length

  • Getting started50:25

    This first lecture covers Chapter 0 of the textbook Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo.

    The topics covered in this lecture are

    1. the basic syntactic structure of C++ programs,
    2. how to define and call functions,
    3. how to create local variables,
    4. character-based output to a terminal,
    5. and the basics of namespaces.
  • Working with strings and if statements54:51

    This lecture covers Chapters 1 and part of Chapter 2 of Accelerated C++.

    The topics of the lecture are:

    1. rounding of floating-point numbers,
    2. character-based input from the keyboard,
    3. using the standard string class,
    4. and if statements for conditionally executing different statements.
  • Looping and working with batches of data52:15

    This lecture covers Chapters 2 and 3 of Accelerated C++.

    The topics  discussed in this lecture are:

    1. while and for statements for executing some statements many times,
    2. more operations on the string class,
    3. arithmetic and assignment operators for integers and floating-point numbers,
    4. and using the standard vector class.
  • Organizing programs57:23

    This lecture covers Chapter 4 of Accelerated C++.

    The topics discussed in this lecture are:

    1. when to create a function and how to choose a good name,
    2. how to carefully refactor a program to better organize it using functions,
    3. parameter passing with references and const references,
    4. how to use the standard sort function,
    5. and exception handling.
  • Organizing data and using sequential containers50:34

    This lecture covers Chapter 5 of Accelerated C++.

    The topics discussed in this lecture are:

    1. grouping related data into a struct,
    2. defining functions that work on structs,
    3. efficiency considerations when using the vector class,
    4. and how to use the list class.
  • Using library algorithms1:01:45

    This lecture covers Chapter 6 of Accelerated C++. The theme of this lecture is learning to use the standard algorithms on sequences.

    The lecture discusses the following topics:

    1. the ideas of iterators and adaptors,
    2. how to use the copy, find_if, and equal algorithms,
    3. how to use the transform, accumulate, remove_copy, and stable_partition algorithms,
    4. and how to apply these algorithms in the setting of computing medians and averages of student grades.

Description

This course is for beginners who want to get started writing programs in C++, taught by Jeremy Siek, a professor at the University of Colorado. No prior knowledge of C++ is assumed. The course is based on the excellent textbook Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo. Like the textbook, the course quickly dives into problem solving and making use of the C++ standard library, including strings, vectors, and lists. The emphasis is on teaching you the parts of C++ that you will most likely need in your day-to-day programming. This course is Part 1 of a planned two-part sequence. Part 1 covers the first seven chapters of Accelerated C++, in particular, Chapters 0 through 6. The course consists of six videos of 50-60 minutes each.

Part 2 of the course, forthcoming, will cover the second half of Accelerated C++, including how to write your own classes and generic functions.
