• Effective C++ (3rd edition) by Scott Myers ISBN 978-0321334879 (retail price $54.99)

Catalog Description:
Object-oriented programming as a means to efficient, reliable, modular, reusable code. Use of classes, derivation, templates, name-hiding, exceptions, polymorphic functions, and other features of C++.

Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to

• design an object-oriented solutions to problems
• implement those designs using C++
• use the Standard Template Library (STL) effectively and efficiently

Academic Dishonesty:
Undergraduate students should refer to Yale College's Undergraduate Regulations and Definitions of Plagiarism, Cheating, and Documentation of Sources. The corresponding policy for graduate students is given in the GRAS Policies and Regulations section on Personal Conduct.

The implications for this course:

• Programming Assignments: The code you submit must be the result of your understanding of the problem. You may discuss concepts and approaches with other students, but you may not take any written or electronic records from such discussions (this includes discussions on Piazza; such discussions are electronic records so you may not post code there). Furthermore, you must engage in a full hour of mind-numbing activity (such as watching back-to-back episodes of Gilligan's Island) before resuming work. This no-record/"Gilligan's Island" rule applies to code found in online or other published sources as well. Under no circumstances may you examine a copy of another student's code nor may you provide a copy of your code to another student. You may consult course staff for help writing and debugging without attribution and doing so does not trigger the Gilligan's Island rule. (The Gilligan's Island rule originated with Stanley Eisenstat and I obtained it through Stephen Slade.)
• Exams: each student must work individually.

Grading:

• Programming Assignments: 60%
• In-Class Exam: 15% (Mon Oct 16)
• Final Exam 25% (Wed Dec 20 at 9am in SSS 114)

Schedule (subject to change):

In-class Exam: Monday, October 16th 4:00-5:15pm in LORIA 250
Final Exam: Wednesday, December 20th at 9-11am in SSS 114
