Course Description

The block course provides a short but extensive introduction to the programming language C++. It is aimed at students with a solid knowledge of Java, Python, or another imperative programming language.

Course topics include:

  • basics of imperative programming in C / C++
  • basic language constructs
    • arrays
    • pointer arithmetic
    • references
    • dynamic memory management
    • basic classes in C++: string, vector
  • classes and object orientation in C++
    • const-correctness
  • inheritance, polymorphism
    • further class concepts: static member, rule of three (five)
  • templates
    • metaprogramming
  • standard library
  • miscellaneous (mostly C++14 / C++17)
    • move semantics
    • exceptions
    • auto-declare
    • initializer syntax
    • casting, enumerations
  • multi-threading (later than C++11)
    • also smart pointers

The course language is German.

Requirements

It is assumed that participants are already familiar with an imperative, possibly object oriented programming language, e.g., Java or Python.

This course is not suited for programming beginners.

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
