Data Structures Preliminaries (Refresher of Fundamentals in C++)
Gain insights into C++ basics: explore variables, control flow, and OOP. Learn about classes, object relationships, and operator overloading to build a solid programming foundation.
Dive into a comprehensive review of the fundamental elements of C++ through this course. Experience concise yet detailed explanations, coupled with hands-on exercises that delve into the core concepts of C++ fundamentals.
Your journey begins with the exploration of fundamental programming concepts, such as the versatility of variables and their applications in strengthening control structures like conditions, loops, arrays and pointers. Next, you’ll cover structured programming, understanding its advantages and disadvantages, which seamlessly transitions you into object-oriented programming (OOP). Your focus will expand to encompass subjects like classes, object relationships and the implementation of operator overloading to equip user-defined data types.
By the end of this course, you'll possess a solid grasp of the essential fundamentals, providing a robust foundation for success in subsequent courses, including the study of data structures and algorithms in C++.
