2 Lecture: Basic C++ Syntax, Structure, Operators, and Expressions / Writing and running your first C++ program / Primitive built-in data types / Compound types: references and pointers / Using namespace declarations / Library string type / Arithmetic, logical, relational, and assignment operators / Member access operators / Lab: / Convert basic Python scripts to C++ / Write a simple “Hello World” and calculator program in C++ / Create a program that declares, initializes, and prints various data types / Create a program that uses different operators, and displays the outcomes / Demonstrate the use of member access operators by creating and manipulating a simple struct
3 Lecture: Control Structures / Simple statements: null and compound statements; scoping / Conditional statements: conditional operator, if, if-else, and switch / Iterative statements: while, for, do-while / Jump statements: break and continue / Lab: / Write a program to check if a number is even or odd using both if-else and switch / Implement a factorial function using both iteration and recursion / Compare Python’s function definitions with C++ approaches
4 Lecture: Functions and Arrays / Function basics: definitions, argument passing, and return values / Overloaded functions, default arguments, inline and constexpr functions / Pointers to functions / Arrays in C++ / Lab: / Create an array and calculate its average

6 Lecture: Classes and Objects / Defining classes: member variables and functions / Access modifiers: public, private, and protected / Constructors and destructors / Lab: / Create a simple class (e.g., a BankAccount class) with private data members and public access methods
7 Lecture: Encapsulation, Design, and Namespaces / Encapsulation principles / Inline functions and constant member functions / Using declarations and organizing code with namespaces / Splitting projects into multiple files with appropriate namespace usage / Basic UML diagram practice for class design / Lab: / Design a class structure (e.g., a BankAccount class) using a basic UML diagram. / Create simple getter functions as inline functions within the class / Define member functions as const when they do not alter the object's state / Organize a project into multiple files and namespaces for better modularity
8 Lecture: Operator Overloading and Friend Functions / Operator Overloading / Friend functions and classes / Lab: / Implement operator overloading (e.g., operator / Debugging operators

10 Lecture: Polymorphism / Polymorphism / Function Overriding / Abstract classes and pure virtual functions / Lab: / Building advanced class hierarchies / Implementing polymorphic classes / Testing polymorphic behavior
11 Lecture: Composition / Using objects as members of other classes / Composition vs. inheritance / Understanding and using the this pointer / Lab: / Create a class containing another class. / Use this pointer to resolve naming conflicts
12 Lecture: Exception Handling / Error codes versus exceptions / Writing robust code using try/catch blocks / Creating and using custom exception classes / Lab: / Writing try/catch blocks / Lab tasks with custom exception classes
