Programming 2: Techniques, 5 cr

Core content

• Dividing program code into manageable parts and other style issues.
• Modularity and use of classes, basics of object-oriented programming.
• Recursion.
• STL (Standard Template Library), basic containers (vector, set, map), iterators.
• Values, references, pointers, indirect memory access.
• Memory and arrays.
• Dynamic memory management, linked list, smart pointers.

• Version control (in single programmer's projects without remote repositories).

• Compiling compared to interpreting.

Complementary knowledge

• STL algorithms, more STL containers (list, deque).
• Function pointers, pointer arithmetics.
  
• Compilation process (preprocessor, linking).
