Contact Hours:4.0
Lecture:1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Practical:1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Prerequisite(s):1920 (v.6) Software Technology 151 or any previous version
Co Requisite(s):1922 (v.6) Software Technology 152 or any previous version
Syllabus:Unix Part-I. Unix Part-II. C++ Fundamentals. Functions and Program Structure. Designing Programs with Derived Types. Pointers. Abstract Data Types. Strings, Streams and I/O. Classes and Object. Exceptions and Error Handling. Programming Under Unix.
 
Unit Outcomes: On successful completion of this course the student will be able to program in C++ with emphasis on a structured, top-down approach to problem solving. Students gain knowledge of the mechanics of the language, style and debugging. The entire life cycle of a program is discussed, including conception, design, writing, debugging, documentation and maintenance, so students will understand how to solve problems in C++, and be able to demonstrate the application of software engineering principles in designing, coding, and testing of medium size programs within a Unix environment.
