This module builds on the computer programming and problem solving skills covered in the C++ Programming 1 module.

The module enhances problem solving skills to take an object oriented (OO) approach to creating modular programs to meet a given specification.

Students are taught how to use simple UML class diagrams in the design process. Programming, mainly in C++, will make use of the Unix (or Linux) platform and examples from the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) and will include inheritance and polymorphism.

On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to

• Make use of separate files to build a C/C++ application.
• Design and code C++ classes and use these to provide programming solutions to clearly specified problems.
• Construct programs using language features such as arrays, reference parameters, pointers and text files.
• Use simple examples from the C++ STL in applications.
• Implement a design in a given UML class diagram, with one or more interacting classes.

Assessment is by one written examination at the end of the module.

This module must be studied in conjunction with C++ Programming 1.
