  Lecture 15: Final Exam Review and Dynamic Allocation

  In this lecture, we review key concepts that will be covered by the final exam. Also, we discuss more details pertaining to dynamic allocations, including motivation, requesting dynamic memory, and releasing dynamic memory, that will not be covered on the...

  Lecture 14: Introduction to Pointers

  We discuss the details of pointer values and types in C++ in this lecture. We conclude with a very brief introduction to dynamic allocation and some other motivation behind pointer types in C++.

  Lecture 11-Constructors and Clients

  In this lecture, we continue our discussion of Object-Oriented Programming. Specifically, we introduce the idea of member functions to create objects. Such functions are called contructors. We then go on to discuss the various ways clients of the Fraction class...

  Lecture 10-Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

  This lecture is an introduction to Object-Oriented programming. We first begin by describing some motivation of objects. Then, we discuss the mechanics of classes, including how they are declared, the various keywords used, etc. We conclude with several implementation details...

  Lecture 9-Parameter Passing and Void Functions

  In this lecture, we mainly discuss function parameter passing modes, namely, the differences between call-by-value and call-by-reference. We then go on to discuss void functions and using arrays as arguments to functions.

  Lecture 8: Introduction to Value Returning Functions

  In this lecture, we introduce the notion of value returning functions in C++ and provide several examples. Value returing functions are quite similar to functions you would, say, see in excel. However, there are some important differences that we will...

  Lecture 7: Palindrome homework discussion and arrays

  In this lecture, we mainly discuss the details and requirements of the Palindrome homework assignment, however, doing so also entailed discussing many details of static arrays in C++. Specifically, static arrays will have two notions of size, i.e., a maximum...

  Lecture 6: Loops and Intro to Arrays

  In this lecture, we begin by explaining answers about boolean operations and variable scopes raised in the last class. We then go on to discuss global variables and named constants. The focal point of the lecture, repetitive statements in C++,...
