Course Overview
This course trains students in advanced object-oriented programming in C++. The fundamentals of inheritance, encapsulation, and object polymorphism are covered first. Next, various design patterns are discussed.
Mots-clés : Object-oriented programming, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, template, design pattern.
Prerequisites
Students should have previously acquired the following prerequisites to follow this course:
- Write a simple program using variables, control structures within classes, and methods.
- Test its functions and classes with different test scenarios described.
- Converting from a simple UML diagram (single class) to the corresponding program, and vice versa.
Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Create a test program with a description of the tests performed and their results.
- Create and compile a makefile.
- Knowing how to use the shell (navigating, creating, copying, listing, deleting, searching, user rights).
- Write the documentation for a function (/* /) and generate the corresponding Doxygen file.
- Using precompiled code with documentation.
- Moving from a statement describing a situation to a UML class diagram, then to the corresponding code (and vice versa).
- Factoring code (creating parent classes from existing classes).
- Knowing how to implement a design pattern from a statement.
- Knowing how to implement inheritance and associated polymorphism mechanisms.
- Knowing how to use templates.

- C/TD/TP respectively corresponds to lectures, tutorials and lab sessions.
Sequence of the unit
The first practical assignment follows directly after lecture C1 and focuses on learning how to use makefiles and shells.
Then, after each lecture, the tutorial allows students to put the concepts covered in class into practice with simple exercises, while the practical assignments allow students to code independently.
