Abstract

This course closely examines C++, which is one of the most popular languages used for developing effective applications. The first part of the course briefly explains the basic language constructs which should be familiar to students who took a course in the Python language: input-output, variables, conditional operators, loops, functions, and containers. One of the most important topics is the use of templates, standard template library (STL), and iterators. We will also explore the basics of object-oriented programming: classes, objects, and methods. During the course, you will have an opportunity to solve many practical problems.

Learning Objectives

Освоение синтаксиса и основных конструкций языка С++.
Изучение принципов объектно-ориентированного программирования.

Interim Assessment

2025/2026 3rd module
There are no blocking parts in the grading, but you have to get at least 35% to pass the course. The passing grade is 4. Your final score will be calculated as a weighted sum of Programming Assignments (60%) and the Final project (40%). Your grade will be found according to the following table: 1 - 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 % 5 15 25 35 50 65 80 95 99 A grade of 10 is awarded if all tasks are 100% complete during the relevant week.
