	Total: 6 hour /week
Year:        I	Lecture: 3 hours/week
Semester:  II	Tutorial:   hours/week Practical: 3 hours/week

Course Description:

This course deals to develop the skill on thinking about computation and problem solving in Object Oriented Paradigms. The course helps the students to discover the basic concepts of objectoriented programming concept such as object, class, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation and apply in C++. 

Course Objectives:

After completing this course the students will be able to:  

1.     Explain  object oriented programming approach

2.     Design the problem and solution using object oriented design methods 

3.     Define various object oriented concepts such as class/object, abstraction, inheritance, operator overloading, dynamic binding, templates etc in C++ programming language

Practical:			[45]
The lab exercise will be different aspects and features of the C++ programming language as follows : 1.     Write a program with the structured components of the C++ language 2.     Demonstrate a simple class and its implementation 3.     Create classes for data types such as complex no, date, time, distance etc and implement them in a program 4.     Demonstrate constructors and destructors along with the objects 5.     Apply static and constant member functions and data  6.     Apply friends functions to act as bridge between the objects 7.     Write to overload different operators 8.     Write program to convert data from user defined to fundamental data and vice versa, and user defined to user defined type 9.     Write program to inherit the base class to add new functionality in the base class 10.  Apply virtual functions pointer to objects in program 11.  Demonstrate binary and ASCII file manipulation 12.  Write a program to create and use function and class templates 13.  Write a program to illustrate exception handling
