Tools used: Software
-C++ compiler

Syllabus
- Basic Facilities: The C and C++ languages: pointers, arrays, and structures. Functions.  Namespaces and exceptions.
- Abstraction Mechanisms: Classes and objects. Operator overloading. Class hierarchies.  Polymorphism. Templates.
- Case studies: Containers and algorithms. Iterators.

Final exam
The examination consists in the development (with discussion) of a specific software  module.
