General Review

Summary of Topics Covered

Not listed in the order covered in class.

1. Development Methodology
   • Get it to compile
   • Testing
2. The Basics of Classes
   • member function
   • member variable
   • public, private, protected
   • object
   • objects in a container
   • accessor & mutator
   • header/source conventions
   • inline
   • constructors
     • default ctor
     • constructing members
   • destructor
   • friend functions
3. Allocation & Compiler-Generated Functions
   • 3 kinds of allocation
   • Lifetime
   • Pointers
   • dynamic
   • non-array, array
   • RAII
   • Compiler-generated functions
   • Law of the Big Three
4. Parameter Passing
   • 3 ways
   • Conventions for objects, simple types
   • Return values
5. Scope, etc.
   • Scope
   • Local, member, global
   • Static members
6. Operator Overloading
   • Function name
   • Operands
   • Precedence, associativity, arity
   • Member vs. global
   • Make non-fundamental out of fundamental
   • Special cases
     • operator++
     • operator<<, operator>>
     • operator= (member, swap trick)
7. Object-Oriented Programming
   • Idea
   • Inheritance
   • Constructing & the base class
   • redefining base-class members
     • Access via Base::
   • Polymorphism
   • Virtual functions
     • Using with pointers
     • Using with references
     • Using with shared_ptr, make_shared
   • Class hierarchies
   • Pure virtual functions & abstract classes
   • Polymorphic objects in a container: shared_ptr, make_shared
