Lecture Notes on C++ Programming and its New Course Launch

Introduction

• Announcement: New C++ course launched by President Mohammad.
• Placement oriented course, designed for high-quality candidates.
• 70-hour course aimed at preparing students for top companies like Facebook and WhatsApp.
• Competitive bidding and advanced training included.
• Developed by five top faculty members from Microsoft, Google, RCM, and Genius.

Course Structure

• Index and Brief Overview: Detailed coverage of all subtopics through a structured index.
• Unique Selling Points: High-quality animation production, unlike other institutes.
• Additional Resources: Extra exercises and notes available in the description box.

Real-life Application of Programming

• Communication Analogy: Just as instructions are given in a specific language for humans, computers require a binary language (0s and 1s).
• Binary Representation: Computers understand high voltage (1) and low voltage (0).
• High-Level Languages: Easier for humans to write and understand, e.g., C++ is converted to binary by a compiler.

Example Projects in C++

• Cooking Maggi: Using flowchart to explain step-by-step execution similar to a program.
• Addition Program: Taking two inputs, calculating their sum, and printing the result using pseudo-code.
• Comparing Numbers: Develop a code to compare three numbers and print the largest one.
• Prime Number Check: Write a program to check if a given number is prime.

Detailed Code Walkthroughs

• Prime Number Code Explanation: Use of loops and conditional statements to determine if a number is prime.
• Printing Prime Numbers: Checking each number up to N to print all prime numbers.
• Installing and Running C++ Program: Step-by-step guide to installing compilers and running C++ programs.
• VS Code Setup: Detailed instructions for setting up Visual Studio Code for C++ development.

Advanced Topics

• Brain Teasers: Example of a timing problem using two sand glasses to measure 9 minutes.
• Flowcharts and Pseudo-code: Detailed explanations and examples for understanding program flow and logic.

Practice and Exercises

• PDF Resources: Included brain teasers and additional questions for practice.
• Interview Preparation: Exercises to improve logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Conclusion and Thought
