C/C++ RoadMap

• First of All ask the lecturer for the course syllabus
• Topics (personal opinion!):
  • Basics
    1. Algorithms & PsudoCodes (How do solve a problem?)
    2. Programing Languages & Programs (How do you talk to(use) a computer?)
    3. Code Editor
    4. Compiler
    5. C/C++ programming Language
  • Preparing C/C++ Programming Environments
    1. Code Editiors my suggestion: VsCode
    2. preparing code editor for coding
    3. Compilers my suggestion: Clang or GCC
       • Online
       • on your own computer
    4. Command Line (optional!)
  • Algorithms/PsudoCodes/DataStructures(Theory)
    1. Basics (operators, variables, Indentation, etc)
    2. Algorithm/PsudoCode for simple arithmetic problems (sum, prime numbers, etc)
    3. Conditional Statements (if-elseif-else, switch-case, etc)
    4. Loops (For, while, do-while, etc)
    5. Functions (single/multiple-input/output, single/multiple-input/output, recursive/none-recursive )
    6. Primitive DataStructures (bolean, int, float, char)
    7. Basic DataStructures (long, double, signed, unsigned, strings, arrays, stacks, queue)
    8. Simple Sorting Algorithms (bubble sort, insertion sort, etc)
    9. Some advanced sorting algorithm (merge sort, quick sort, etct)
    10. Structures and compound DataStructures
    11. Classes and encapsulations
    12. problem solving
    13. Advanced DataStructures (trees, graphs, sets, maps, etc) optional
  • C/C++
    1. Different versions of C/C++
    2. Structure of A C/C++ Program (headers, NameSpaces, main function, etc)
    3. Variables (int, float, etc)
    4. Operators & Operator precedence
    5. Functions (declaration/ definition)
    6. pointer & refrences
    7. Data Structures
    8. structures and clases
    9. conditional statements
    10. Loops
    11. Implementations of algorithms/psudocodes
