Object Oriented Programming with C++

By the end of this module, you will be able to: Understand the differences between references and pointers Implement effective memory management using dynamic allocation and deallocation Use smart pointers to prevent memory leaks Apply best practices to avoid common memory-related issues Analyze and optimize memory usage in C++ programs.

By the end of this module, you will be able to: Implement inheritance hierarchies with base and derived classes Apply polymorphism through virtual functions and method overriding Design abstract classes and interfaces using pure virtual functions Understand the concepts of early and late binding Use multiple inheritance appropriately and avoid common pitfalls.

By the end of this module, you will be able to: Implement exception handling to manage runtime errors Create custom exception classes for specific error conditions Use debugging tools to identify and resolve issues in C++ code Apply testing methodologies to validate program correctness Leverage GenAI tools for effective code reviews.

This capstone module guides you through designing and implementing an enterprise-level object-oriented library management system using modern C++ practices. You will create class hierarchies, apply inheritance and polymorphism, implement robust memory management, and build custom error-handling workflows. Through structured phases, you will design the architecture, develop the full system, and validate it with unit and integration tests. You will also use GenAI tools for professional code review and quality improvement. By completing the project, you will produce a portfolio-ready application demonstrating advanced C++ and OOP mastery.
