Annotation
The goal of the subject is to ensure necessary knowledge of the C language and main features of C++ as one of the dominant programming languages in many areas of research and technique (programming microprocessors, numerical mathematics, etc.). The skills on the language C/C++ are hence necessary for the work of students in various forms of projects, and for fulfillment of their final theses. The subject is based on the fundamental course of programming and algorithms in the first phase of study, which is mainly realized by means of Java programming language. The knowledge of syntax of Java (which have been derived from the C language) is hence an advantage for the study of this subject. The syllabus, therefore, contains an explanation of the differences of Java and C in the first stage. In this way, a guide of syntax of the fundamental features of the C language is naturally performed. The next lectures are devoted to the specific features of the C language as pointers, address arithmetic, etc. An explanation of structures and arrays of them follows. A review of the standard libraries of the C language is also performed. The subject is finished by the explanation of new features of the standards C99 and C++. At the beginning of this part of the subject, new data types are defined, novel types of input/output, and dynamic allocation of arrays are explained. An explanation of fundamental features of object programming in C++ follows, and an operation with the constructors and destructors is described. The explanation ends with class hierarchy and derived classes. A practical usage of operator overloading is demonstrated on the complex arithmetic. The exercises are organized in computer laboratories using the free environments as OpenWatcom, for example.
Study targets
