The Aim of this subject is to give the student the necessary skills and knowledge to allowthe student to design, implement and test programs written in a high level object orientedlanguage, such as the C++ language. It aims to build on the outcomes of EngineeringSoftware 1, using more advanced techniques .
Object Oriented Concepts:
Objects. Classes. Methods. Instances. Abstraction. Inheritance. Polymorphism
Link Lists using classes:
Intro to data structures using classes
Overloading and Composition:
Polymorphism by parameter: Function Overloading and Operator Overloading.Friend Functions/Classes. Composition, Association and Aggregations.
Inheritance and Polymorphism:
Inheritance and classification hierarchies. Protected class members. Overridingand dominating inherited member Functions/Data. Method polymorphism.Virtual functions. Run-time polymorphism and dynamic binding. VirtualDestructors and Abstract base classes.
Fundamentals of Object Oriented Design:
A case study using the UML: Derive initial problem statement, Determine UseCases, Identify Candidate Objects, Identify Associations, Generate ClassDiagram and Data Dictionary, Model the Use Case Scenarios.
