C++ Programming: Basic Skills

عن

Code and run your first C++ program in minutes without installing anything!

This course is designed for learners with no coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just C++, but core Computer Science topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover printing, operators, iteration (i.e., loops), selection (i.e., conditionals), and vectors (i.e. arrays).

To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

What you will learn

• Use variables and operators to store and manipulate small pieces of data

• Automate decision making using selection statements so the program result differs based on data

• Repeat sections of your program using the appropriate loop type

• Store and manipulate arrays of data

Skills you learn

• C++ (Programming Language)
• Computer Science
