3EE4A OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (Common to EE, EX, CS and IT)
Unit 1
Introduction: Review of structures in C, accessing members of structures using structure variables, pointer to structures, passing structures to functions, structures as user defined data types.
Unit 2
Introduction to Programming Paradigms: (Process oriented and Object oriented). Concept of object, class, objects as variables of class data type, difference in structures and class in terms of access to members, private and public Basics of C++: Structure of C++ programs, introduction to defining member functions within and outside a class, keyword using, declaring class, creating objects, constructors & destructor functions, Initializing member values with and without use of constructors, simple programs to access & manipulate data members, cin and cout functions. Dangers of returning reference to a private data member, constant objects and members function, composition of classes, friend functions and classes, using this pointer, creating and destroying objects dynamically using new and delete operators. Static class members, container classes and iterators, proxy classes.members of a class, data & function members. Characteristics of OOP- Data hiding, Encapsulation, data security.
