This comprehensive C++ course is designed to teach you step by step how to become proficient in one of the most powerful programming languages in the world. You’ll begin with an introduction to the course, learn how to install and set up C++ on Mac and Windows, create and run your first .cpp file, and write your first “Hello World” programme. Early lessons also cover the history of C++, running code on different platforms and understanding key takeaways to establish a solid foundation.

The next modules dive into the core language basics. You’ll explore how a C++ programme is executed, the #include directive, main() function, cout output, built-in types, booleans, characters, integers, floating-point numbers, arithmetic and comparison operators, the const keyword, and working with strings. Each section is reinforced with coding exercises and detailed explanations to ensure you understand every concept.

You’ll then progress to input handling, conditional statements and loops, including cin, if, switch, for, while, do-while, goto, pointers, arrays and vectors. Lessons show you how to apply these constructs in real-world scenarios, while additional exercises and answers give you immediate feedback on your skills.

User-defined types are introduced with structs, classes, enums, separate compilation and namespaces, preparing you for intermediate C++ topics such as libraries, the standard library, file I/O, date/time, recursion, regular expressions, linked lists and trees. You’ll also gain hands-on experience with C++ containers such as vectors, forward_list, list, deque, set, map, stack and queue, learning how and when to use each effectively.

Advanced modules cover object-oriented programming concepts, including the four pillars of OOP, classes, objects and inheritance. You’ll also work through string algorithms, array and vector algorithms, tree algorithms and linked list algorithms with practical examples such as Roman to Integer conversion, palindrome checks, Pascal’s Triangle, BFS, DFS and merging linked lists. By the end of the course, you’ll have mastered both the fundamentals and advanced techniques of C++ programming and be ready to tackle complex coding challenges or build your own applications.
