DD1388 Program System Construction Using C++ 7.5 credits

The development of C++ from C and Simula to ISO standard.

Overview of all parts of C++ according to the ISO standard, including classes, simple and multiple inheritance, overloading, generic functions and classes, exceptions, constant declarations, streams, name spaces, type equivalence and type compatibility, the preprocessor.

Program design with C++: good programming style, procedure at object-oriented development in C++, rules of thumb and tips for design and implementation of C++ programme, support for modularisation, memory handling, making the program code more efficient, common errors and traps, Unicode and localisation, use of the standard library, tools for testing, troubleshooting, static and dynamic linking and name mangling, portability.

On completion of the course, you should be able to

• program with dynamic memory allocation,
• apply the standard library,
• write correct C++ syntax,
• write test code,
• relate to advanced C++ literature,
• program generics with type parametrization,
• apply, in C++, your prior knowledge of object-oriented programming,
• model an extensive object-oriented project,
• present and justify an object-oriented model

in order to

• know that you master the whole language C++,
• with self-confidence be able to take part in C++ projects in the industry and develop or maintain the code.

Knowledge of object orientation and Java programming corresponding to DD1361 Programming paradigms, DD1385/DD2385 Software engineering, DD1346 Object-oriented program construction or DD1332 Object oriented programming.     

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory assignments, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Passed laboratory assignments and examination.
