Motivation for Learning C++ C++ is more powerful and efficient than other high-level programming languages (although more complicated). C and C++ are the most widely used programming languages for robotics and games, and for writing compilers and operating systems and drivers of hardware devices. Consequently a knowledge of C++ is a big advantage in the jobs market.

Learning Outcomes After completing this module, students will be expected to be able to
explain the basic concepts and features of C++.
describe the underlying memory model and explain the role of the execution stack and the heap.
write object-oriented programs that incorporate basic C++ features such as pointers, references, inheritance, function overriding, operator overloading, exceptions, etc.
make effective use of the C++ Standard Template Library.
