Introduction to Computer Programming 2 (CMPT 1020)
This course builds upon the foundations set in CMPT 1010 Introduction to Computer Programming 1. Students will learn how to apply fundamental object-oriented programming concepts to efficiently program applications with an intermediate level of difficulty. Topics include object-oriented design, object-oriented programming, encapsulation, inheritance, aggregation, operator overloading, virtual functions, polymorphism, function templates, class templates, exception handling, implementation of algorithms and data structures, introduction to complexity analysis, and introduction to embedded system programming. C++ is used as the implementation language.
