Object Oriented Programming in C++ Notes

These Notes are comprehensive set of lecture notes for the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in c++ CS1004 course. It covers fundamental to intermediate C++ programming concepts in a structured, lecture-based format. The material includes explanations, diagrams, code examples, and class activities for practice. The notes begin with the basics of C++ programming, including syntax, structure of a program, compilation phases, data types, I/O operations, and simple programs. It then progresses into control structures such as if/else, switch, loops (while, do-while, for), nested loops, and logic flow. Later sections provide an in-depth understanding of arrays (1D and 2D), their memory representation, initialization, array processing, bounds issues, and various examples involving searching, averaging, matrix operations, and array manipulation. A large portion of the document focuses on pointers in C++, explaining pointer declarations, referencing / dereferencing, pointer arithmetic, pointer–array relationships, pointer to arrays, and memory layout of multidimensional arrays. The final section introduces dynamic memory allocation (DMA) using new and delete, handling dynamically created 1D and 2D arrays, dangling pointers, memory leaks, and resizing arrays manually at runtime. Overall, the document serves as a detailed and beginner-friendly guide to essential C++ programming concepts, with many examples and class activities to reinforce learning
