Object Oriented Programming with C++ (3:0:1)
Course Outcome:
Justify the philosophy of object-oriented design and the concepts of encapsulation,
abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism.
Design, implement, test, and debug simple programs in an object-oriented
programming language.
Describe how the class mechanism supports encapsulation and information hiding.
Compare and contrast the notions of overloading and overriding methods in an
object-oriented language.
