Chapter 1: Programming

How to Run Examples, Debug and Test Code

Here are the HOWTOs

Code Examples

Memory Management

Some Questions:
- Where do programs store variables and objects?
- Where does memory come from and how is memory returned?
- Why do we need dynamic memory allocation?
- Differences between memory management in C, C++, Java and Python.
Video: Memory Diagrams
Example: Memory allocation

Recursion, Compiling, Debugging and Testing

Example: Calculate factorials

Classes

Example: IntCell

Pointers and Dynamic Memory Allocation

Example: Pointers
Reading: References vs. Pointers

STL vector and string

Example: Arrays and cstrings vs STL vectors and strings
Reading: The C++ Standard Template Library (STL)

Parameter passing

Example: Call-by-value vs call-by-reference and using const.

Destructor, copy constructor and assignment

Example: Big five for classes

Templates

Example: Function templates
Example: Class templates

Comparators

Example: Comparator

Command Line Interface and File IO

Example: CLI and file IO
