Description

The student will be introduced to C++ and learn how to write simple programs using character-based input and output. The emphasis is on C++ language constructs and how to use them with a lesser emphasis on program design and problem solving. This course also provides a foundation for those wishing to learn other object-oriented languages, such as Java and SmallTalk.

Audience

Programmers wanting to learn the basics of programming in an object-oriented language.

Prerequisite

Programming in any language, preferably C.

• declare and assign values to variables
• transfer information between the computer and external devices
• properly use arithmetic, relational, and logical operators
