• Today is the last drop day
• Test Etiquette
• Quiz 1

• Heckendorn’s Law
• Our friend, post-increment
• Array names are pointers
• String Literals

• Local static variables

• struct vs. class
• Data members
• Function members (methods): in-line & not
• public, private, and protected
• Friends

• Complex class example
• Inlining
• Ctors, dtors, copy ctor, operator=

• Member initialization
• static members
• const member functions
• conversion functions
• explicit

• Discuss HW3
• C++ is extensible, not mutable
• Operator overloading, member vs. non-member

• Review for midterm

• First midterm

• Review the midterm
• Inheritance (Is-a) vs. composition (Has-a)
• Inheritance access
• typedef for base class alias instead of super
• Calling methods in base class (example):
  • Base class in initialization list
  • copy ctor in derived class calls copy ctor in base class
  • operator= in derived class calls operator= in base class (example)
• Slicing

• Intro to stringstreams
• Increment Methods (decrement, too)
• operator++ & operator++(int) in greek & Complex
• Virtual functions (example)
• Polymorphism (example)
• Pure Virtual functions
• dynamic_cast (example)

• Include guards
• Separate compilation
• Namespace pollution (example)

• Discuss HW4
• Unicode
• Bit manipulation
• delegating ctors
• Init vs Assign using Loud.h
• Operator functions
• private (lousy default)/public/protected inheritance
• Multiple inheritance (example)
• Friendship is not inherited
• There is no Object class.

• Virtual inheritance and The Dreaded Diamond
• Multiple inheritance examples

Programming paradigms:

• Imperative programming
• Declarative programming
  • Functional programming
• Event-driven programming (examples)

• Compiled header files
• Old-fashioned error handling
• Exception handling
• The <stdexcept> header file.

• Quiz 2

• Namespaces
• Symbol Ambiguity

• Today is the last withdraw date
• Discuss HW5
• I/O Hierarchy
• I/O Header Files
• typedef basic_foo<char> foo;
• typedef basic_foo<wchar_t> wfoo;

ios:

• ios has no open() method
• Misuse of «ios::eof(cpp)» (example)
• ios state flags

ostream:

• «ostream::put(cpp)» / «ostream::write(cpp)»
• «ostream::seekp(cpp)» / «ostream::tellp(cpp)»
• I/O Manipulators (formatted output example)

istream:

• «istream::get(cpp)» / «istream::unget(cpp)» / «istream::peek(cpp)»
• istream::get() vs. cin >> c
• «istream::getline(cpp)»
• «istream::ignore(cpp)»
• «istream::seekg(cpp)» / «istream::tellg(cpp)»

fstream:

• Misuse of «ifstream::open(cpp)»

stringstream:

• example
• «stringstream::str(cpp)»
• Using stringstream for general conversion
• to_string
• Serialization, lack of
• Implicit inclusion

• Rule of Three (or is it Five?) (example)
• Self-assignment (example)
• Interpreting g++ syntax errors

RAII/CADRe:

• It’s a Design Pattern
• Acquisition - Use - Release
• Use RAII when you think “Don’t forget to ...”
• Simplicity of description/state
• Immune to early return/throw
• Examples:
  • unique_ptr (example)
  • file handle / socket / database / other OS resources
  • mutex (lock)
  • list membership
• Mixins (example)

• Review for midterm
