Course detail

Language C++

FSI-SCPAcad. year: 2021/2022

C++ is a modern programming language, with a focus on high performance. It is widely being used in very different contexts and has excellent support in both tools and libraries. The course provides the basics of C ++ and an introduction to object-oriented programming. Introduces students to classes, objects, the concept of heredity, etc.
