The Object-Oriented Paradigm Using C++
- Course Description and Learning Outcomes
- External Links
- Instructor: Dr. Peter Liu (Winter 2014)
Wiki-based Learning
- Purpose
- Collaboration is a growing trend in today's practice of software development. You may visit Wikipedia to read about Ward Cunningham and collaboration in agile software development. IBM has developed a wiki-based product for corporate learning. During this semester, you will learn to use a wiki to collaborate with your fellow classmates as you build up your C++ programming skills. Your professor will play the role of an observer, a facilitator and a contributor.
- Benefits
- You will be better prepared to collaborate fully in the next course BTP300.
- Guidelines of Community Practice
- The key element in fostering a spirit of collaboration is that everyone is a contributor to the learning community. We will respect each other and interact with each other in a professional way.

- How does the compilation, linking process work?[3]
- Visual C++, Borland C++, and other compilers in one IDE
- If you like to test compiling your codes with different compilers but don't border to install and run them individually, some IDEs are quite handy. E.g. Code::Blocks [4] (Other IDEs many also have this function). You can choose a specific compiler for each build in the IDE itself.
- Is sizeof in C++ evaluated at compilation time or run time? [5]
- ptrdiff_t is supposed to be used when doing pointer subtraction. But in this example,(demo program "pointerSubtraction.cpp" on matrix.senecac.on.ca) an int will work just fine storing the subtraction result. Reason:[6] (Yiqi Liu)
