| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit introduces object-oriented programming concepts and techniques. These include classes, constructors, destructors, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and exceptions. The study-unit also covers effective debugging practices and provides an introduction to refactoring. Study-unit aims: This study-unit provides the tools necessary to design, implement and test software using object-oriented concepts. It uses C++ as the language of reference given its wide use in applications where run-time efficiency is important. It also introduces and encourages effective programming and debugging methodologies. Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and understanding: • Describe the principles of object-oriented programming; • Design and implement software using object-oriented concepts; • Test and evaluate the functionality of object-oriented code through effective debugging practices. Skills: • Design and Implement software solutions using C++; • Test functionality of C++ programmes; • Choose and apply object-oriented programming concepts. Textbook: • Deitel & Deitel.
