CA-203 Object Oriented Programming using C++

This course will provide us with a general and basic idea of object
oriented concepts using C++. Unlike C programming language, C++ has a few
syntactical changes. Learning them initially comes handy. C++ also has certain
advantages over C. Besides, concepts related to C++ are favourite subject for
recruiters since it is tricky just like C.

Approach:
Learn all the concepts and also prepare programs related to those
concepts.
Programs will not only help one understand the concepts better, they also
provide us with practice which is much needed.
Preparing ones own notes would be a good thing to do, even if it is
tedious. This way one can become clear with the subject.
Online resources should be used (various websites, forums, etc.) They
will provide better simple examples as well.
Once all concepts and programs related to those concepts are done,
passing or perhaps even scoring in evident.
Pay more attention to OOP concepts. Virtual Table and memory
management are also concepts, which the paper setters like. Going
through the concepts thoroughly would be beneficial.

Examination Tip:
Prepare answers that are precise and have the required important words in
them.
Paper correctors usually like to see those important terminologies in the
answer.
Adding programs to the answer not only increases the subject matter, but
also shows one has thorough knowledge of the subject. Where adding
programs are not possible, at least mention a code snippet, e.g. a function
and a few of its members inside the parenthesis.
Underline important lines with pencil in the answer booklet. If the
required terminologies are underlined, the paper corrector just ticks and
moves forward. Getting better marks for the answers becomes easy.
Paper correctors hate answer booklets with multiple supplements, hence
keep it low. Answer concisely, one may express the concept using the
required terminologies and also save time during the examination.
Prepare concepts that belong to the same category, with their advantages
and disadvantages, over each other. E.g. Operator Overloading-
Overriding etc.
 Overloading << and >> operators. Operatos that can be overloaded and
that cannot be overloaded.
Previous year question paper should be solved. Answers according to
these questions should also be prepared.

Resources:
Balguruswany is good only for basic concepts, but for a better
understanding, Thinking in C++ and C++ Primer are good books.
Most of the important and tough concepts related to C++ and OOPS are
covered well in these books
Other than that, the internet will fulfil all of ones need regarding the
subject matter.
Go through programs on sites like IndiaBix that will help clear concepts.
Preparing basic programs all the way to moderate level of complexity
would be beneficial.
