Object-Oriented Programming and Functions

О курсе

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course provides a deep dive into C++ functions, object-oriented programming (OOP), exception handling, debugging, and pointers—essential pillars for developing scalable and robust applications. You'll master how to write modular, reusable code using functions and create complex systems using classes and objects grounded in core OOP principles like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. The journey begins with functions, teaching you prototypes, parameter passing, recursion, and function overloading. You’ll reinforce these concepts with practical projects such as creating a Tic-Tac-Toe game and computing the average of numbers. Then, the course transitions into object-oriented programming, where you'll design custom classes and bring them to life with real-world examples like a Library Card or an Ice Cream Sundae class. Next, you’ll explore exceptions and debugging, learning how to write resilient code through structured error handling, logic checks, and custom exception classes. Finally, the course concludes with a strong foundation in pointers and dynamic memory management, helping you understand how C++ gives you powerful control over system memory. This course is ideal for learners who already understand C++ basics and are ready to take their skills to the next level. It’s perfect for computer science students, aspiring developers, and self-taught programmers aiming for deeper C++ proficiency. A basic understanding of variables, loops, and conditionals in C++ is recommended before enrolling. By the end of the course, you will be able to build and organize C++ programs using reusable functions, design robust object-oriented systems, manage memory with pointers, and handle exceptions gracefully for reliable code execution.
