Introduction and course information: slides (lecture version)
Introduction to the course and some basics.

Reading material:

• Guide for studying
  This page discusses in depth how to succeed in this course and its examination. Please read through it and take it seriously. This course is a self-study course so you will have to practice discipline to actually learn the contents and this guide give suggestions and insights into how this can be done.

• Lecture slides on pointers from TDDE18
  If you are new to C++ or C you can read through these slides to get a basic grasp of memory and pointers before moving on to the more advanced document below.

• Pointers and dynamic memory
  This document serves as a thorough introduction to pointers and dynamic memory conceptually. Generally it is assumed that students are familiar with these concepts from before (see slides linked above), but if you are not then this document is a great starting point for learning how it works.

Exercises:

• Introductory labs from TDDE18:
  • Basic IO
  • Tax Table (requires you to learn IO manipulators)
  • Word Length (requires you to learn filestreams)

Recommended reading:

• UNIX terminal guide

Fundamentals I: slides (lecture version)
Data types, implementation-defined behaviour, function overloading, implicit type conversion and IO.

Reading material:

• Explicit type conversions
  During the seminar we cover implicit type conversion, but not its counter-part: explicit type conversion. Instead I will refer to this document for an introduction to the various ways we can do explicit type conversion.

Exercises:

• Basic language construct exercises
  Note: some of these questions require you to find information on your own.

Fundamentals II: slides (lecture version)
Compound types (struct and class), memory layout of objects, constructors, operator overloading and value categories.

Exercises:

• Post seminar quiz (Actually used for previous course, but I forgot to remove it, so I don't expect you to understand this quiz fully)
• Basic language construct exercises (question #2 to #5)
• Vector
• Time (lab from the course TDDE18)
• Linked List (lab from the course TDDE18: skip the five special member functions, for now)

Templates I: slides (lecture version)
References, function templates, nontype template parameters, explicit template specialization, template argument deduction, overload resolution, compilation and linking.

Exercises:

• Mixed function templates exercises

C++-20 info:

• Non-type template parameters

Useful tools:

• Compiler Explorer - a tool that lets you see the generated assembler of your code, useful to see what is actually generated from your templates (remember to add the -O2 flag).
