Comp 118 - Object-Oriented Programming (Spring 2024)

Introductory Information

• Syllabus.
• Canvas site.
• Tutoring resouces.
• Think C++ by Allen B. Downey. A good book for learning the basics of C++, although its treatment of classes and OOP is somewhat odd.
• A Transition Guide from Python 2.x to C++ by Goldwasser and Letscher. This is an alternative textbook which you can use to see the differences between Python and C++. Note that this book uses Python 2.x, and you programmed in Python 3.x in COMP 115, although the practical differences are minimal.
• Exploring C++: The Programmer's Introduction to C++ by Ray Lischner. If you like hands-on learning, this is the way to go.
• Elementary school sign

Examples/Handouts

• one.cpp - first sample program.
• averaging.cpp - finding weighted average of three integer grades.
• math.cpp - basic C++, using math functions, and casting.
• formatting.cpp - program that demonstrates the use of C++ formatting.
• math2.cpp - same results as math.cpp above, but done only with formatting.
• selection.cpp - sample program using IF and SWITCH statements.
• leapyear.cpp - determining if a year is a leap year (version 1).
• leapyearV2.cpp - determining if a year is a leap year (version 2).
• cashreg.cpp - using a WHILE loop to simulate a cash register.
• cashregV2.cpp - using a DO-WHILE loop to simulate a cash register.
• factorial.cpp - using a FOR loop to calculate k!
• fileAve.cpp - using input and output files to compute the average of 3 grades.
• beersong.cpp - example using a function with a pass-by-reference parameter.
• larger.cpp - finding the larger of two values using pass-by-reference.
• pointers.cpp - in-class pointer/pass-by-reference example.
