CS 450/550 Object Oriented Programming

Introduction

This course will cover OOP concepts such as encapsulation (the collection of data and the code that manipulates it within objects), inheritance (the ability of objects to contain data and functions from other objects) and polymorphism (the use of the same name to perform different functions for different data). We will use the C++ language to implement projects that will illustrate these concepts. This course assumes you are proficient in the C programming language and are familiar with the use of basic data structures like trees and lists.
