This course unit introduces students to object oriented programming using C++ a programming language which supports object-oriented programming. Learners are expected to use the c++ language concepts to design, code, compile, run, debug C++ programs. The computer system is considered to be the key tool in this course unit and each learner is expected to have a computer. The course is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on the introduction, Chapter 2 presents an overview of the concepts/ principles of Object-oriented programming, Chapter 3 is about C++, C++ language concepts and writing c++ programs. Learners will use the concepts introduced in this chapter to write moderate c++ programs or software solutions, Chapter 4 is Loops and Decisions- Learners will apply the concepts presented in this chapter to write intelligent programs or software solutions, Chapter 5 introduces Functions- Learners will use functions to improve their programs. They will use functions to create software solutions or programs capable of performing multiple tasks, Chapter 6 presents- Objects and classes- learners will be able to write programs or software solutions with classes, Chapter 7 introduces the concept of arrays. Learners will be able to incorporate arrays in their programs or software solutions.
