C++ complete roadmap

#programming#tutorial#beginners#cpp

Let's jump in!

If you are a beginner I will suggest you make a timetable of at least 45 days which will be sufficient in order to get a really good understanding of C++. Now, you can break your 45 days into 6 weeks and start with the concepts.

1st Week: Now, these seven days will introduce you to something that you have no previous knowledge of. So make sure you understand the foundations well and give a kickstart to the world of programming.

  • What is C++?
  • It’s history and features.
  • Understanding and writing our first Hello World program in C++.
  • Tokens
  • Variables, Datatypes.
  • Keywords
  • How to take input from the user?
  • Operators
    • Arithmetic Operators.
    • Logical Operators.
    • Relational Operators.
    • Other operators.
  • Selection Statements
    • if statements
    • if-else
    • else-if
    • switch

2nd Week: Now you have understood the basic units of a program well. Its time to take a step forward. So, schedule yourself to learn the following topics.

  • Loops
    • for loop
    • while loop
    • do-while loop
  • Jump Statements
    • goto
    • break
    • continue
  • Comments.
  • Arrays
    • One-Dimensional Array.
    • Two-Dimensional Array.
  • Strings.

Now, start solving some problems on these topics, so that you get a good grip on them.

3rd Week: It’s time to start functions and play with pointers.

  • Functions
    • Call by value.
    • Call by reference
    • Function Overloading.
    • Inline functions.
  • Pointers: Now this is a topic that most of the students find difficult. But believe me, it’s a myth. If you will understand the basics of pointers well, you will surely love C++, as it is one of C++’s coolest features. So get a hold on them.
  • Relation between Pointers and Array.
  • Array to Functions.
  • Structures.

As I said, solve problems to check your understanding.

4th Week: Now, these topics are asked everywhere like Interviews, practical exams, etc. So don’t make haste and understand them in depth.

  • Classes and Objects.
  • this keyword, static keyword, Friend Functions.
  • Constructors.
    • Default Constructor.
    • Parametrized Constructor.
    • Copy Constructor.
  • Destructors.
  • Concepts of Object-Oriented Programming(OOP).
    • Abstraction.
    • Encapsulation.
    • Inheritance.
    • Polymorphism.
    • Data Hiding.

Practice problems on these concepts.

5th Week:

  • Inheritance
    • Types of Inheritance.
    • Derived and Base class.
    • Access Specifiers.
  • Polymorphism.
    • Compile Time Polymorphism.
    • Overloading.
    • Overriding.
  • Run Time Polymorphism.
    • Virtual Functions.
    • Operator Overloading.
  • Exception Handling.

Practice, practice, and practice.

6th Week: Get familiar with:

  • Templates.
  • Data File Handling.
  • Macros.

That’s it. After learning the above topics you can stand anywhere and say I know C++. :)

Most Important Tip: You will face problems while learning some concepts, but please don’t quit. Because everybody faces them and it’s totally OKAY. Give yourself time and jump to that topic again cause this is how things work in the world of programming.

Happy Coding:)

Whiteboarding Interviews

By Md Shoriful Islam

 ⭕ Whiteboarding interviews are a common way of assessing the technical and non-technical skills of candidates for software development positions. They involve solving a coding problem or designing a system on a whiteboard, either in person or virtually, while explaining your approach and reasoning to the interviewer.  ⭕ Some of the benefits of whiteboarding interviews are that they can test your problem-solving ability, communication skills, and coding proficiency in a realistic scenario. They can also help you demonstrate your creativity, collaboration, and passion for the role. However, some of the drawbacks of whiteboarding interviews are that they can be stressful, artificial, and biased. They can also favor memorization over understanding and overlook other aspects of your skills and experience.  ⭕ If you want to ace a whiteboarding interview, you should practice beforehand, prepare for the interview setting, set objectives and expectations, create a good candidate ...

Version Control with Git: A Beginner’s Guide

By Md Shoriful Islam
Version Control with Git: A Beginner’s Guide If you are a developer, you probably know how important it is to keep track of your code changes and collaborate with other developers on a project. But how do you do that effectively and efficiently? The answer is version control. Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. It allows you to revert files back to a previous state, compare changes over time, see who last modified something, and more. Version control also enables you to work with other developers on the same code base without stepping on each other’s toes. One of the most popular version control systems in the world is Git. Git is a free and open source distributed version control system that is designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git has many features that make it superior to other version control systems, such as: Cheap local branchin...

Callback function in JavaScript

Callback function in JavaScript What is a callback function in JavaScript? A callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed after the first function has completed its task. Callback functions are useful for handling asynchronous events, such as network requests, file operations, or timers. For example, you can use a callback function to display the result of a calculation after the calculation is done. Callback function in JavaScript Here is a simple example of a callback function in JavaScript: // Define a function that takes a callback as an argument function sayHello (callback) { // Do some task console .log ("Hello, world!"); // Invoke the callback function callback (); } // Define another function function sayGoodbye () { // Do some task console .log ("Goodbye, world!"); } // Call the first function and pass the second function as a callback sayHello (sayGoodbye); // The output will be: // Hello, wo...
