ABOUT THE COURSE :

There has been a continual debate on which programming language/s to learn, to use. As the latest TIOBE Programming Community Index for August 2021 indicates – C (13%), Python (12%), C++ (7%), Java (10%), and C#(5%) together control nearly half the programming activities worldwide. Further, C Programming Language Family (C, C++, C#, Objective C etc.) dominate more than 25% of activities. Hence, learning C++ is important as one learns about the entire family, about Object-Oriented Programming and gets a solid foundation to also migrate to Java and Python as needed. C++ is the mother of most general purpose of languages. It is multi-paradigm encompassing procedural, object-oriented, generic, and even functional programming. C++ has primarily been the systems language till C++03 which punches efficiency of the code with the efficacy of OOP. Then, why should I learn it if my primary focus is on applications? This is where the recent updates of C++, namely, C++11 and several later offer excellent depths and flexibility for C++ that no language can match. These extensions attempt to alleviate some of the long-standing shortcomings for C++ including porous resource management, error-prone pointer handling, expression semantics, and better readability. The present course builds up on the knowledge of C programming and basic data structure (array, list, stack, queue etc.) to create a strong familiarity with C++98 / C++03. Besides the constructs, syntax and semantics of C++ (over C), we also focus on various idioms of C++ and attempt to go to depth with every C++ feature justifying and illustrating them with several examples and assignment problems. On the way, we illustrate various OOP concepts. The course also covers important advances in C++11 and later released features.

Programming Assignment :
W10_Programming_Qs-1 :
Consider the following program (in C++14).
• Fill in the blank at LINE-1 with an appropriate template definition.
• Fill in the blank at LINE-2 with an appropriate header for function divide.The program must satisfy the sample input and output.
The program must satisfy the sample input and output.
#include <iostream> int convert(double d){ return int(d); } double convert(int i){ return double(i); } template<typename T, typename U> //LINE-1 auto divide(T n1, U n2) -> decltype(convert(n1) / convert(n2)) { //LINE-2 return convert(n1) / convert(n2); }
W10_Programming_Qs-2 :#include <iostream> class ctype { public: ctype() : cp_(nullptr) { } ctype(char c) : cp_(new char(c)) { } ctype(const ctype& ob) : cp_(new char(*(ob.cp_))) {} // LINE-1: copy constructor ctype& operator=(const ctype& ob) { // LINE-2: copy assignment if (this != &ob) { delete cp_; cp_ = new char(*(ob.cp_) + 1); } return *this; } ctype(ctype&& ob) noexcept : cp_(ob.cp_) { // LINE-3: move constructor ob.cp_ = nullptr; } ctype& operator=(ctype&& ob) noexcept { // LINE-4: move assignment if (this != &ob) { cp_ = ob.cp_; ob.cp_ = nullptr; } return *this; }
W10_Programming_Qs-3 :
Consider the following program (in C++11). Fill in the blanks as per
the instructions given below:
• Fill
in the blanks at LINE-1 with appropriate template
definition.
• Fill in the blanks at LINE-2 to complete the header for function
add.
• Fill in the blanks at LINE-3 to define the new type Tmp.
The program
must satisfy the sample input and output.
template<typename T, typename U> //LINE-1 decltype(auto) add(T n1, U n2) { //LINE-2 typedef decltype(n1 + n2) Tmp; // LINE-3: define new type Tmp Tmp sum = n1 + n2; std::cout << sum << std::endl; }
CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE :
- Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
- Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
- Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score
YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE
>=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met,you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
