Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a fundamental concept in modern software development and an important part of BCA, B.Tech, Diploma, and Computer Science curricula. This course is designed to help students understand and implement OOP concepts in C++ through practical coding examples, guided exercises, assignments, and a mini-project.
The course emphasizes both conceptual understanding and hands-on programming, enabling learners to write clean, modular, and reusable C++ programs.
Course Curriculum (15 Hours)
Module 1: Classes and Objects (3 Hours)

• Object Initialization
Module 3: Inheritance (3 Hours)
• Base and Derived Classes
• Single Inheritance
• Multilevel Inheritance
• Hierarchical Inheritance
• Code Reusability through Inheritance
Module 4: Polymorphism and Virtual Functions (3 Hours)

Module 5: Student Management System Project (3 Hours)
• Designing Classes and Objects
• Applying OOP Concepts
• Practical Coding Exercises
• Building a Student Management System
• Project Testing and Review
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• Understand the core principles of Object-Oriented Programming.
• Design and implement programs using classes and objects.
• Apply constructors, destructors, inheritance, and polymorphism in C++.
• Develop small object-oriented applications using good programming practices.
• Build a Student Management System that integrates the concepts learned throughout the course.
• Strengthen their foundation for further study in advanced C++ and software development.
