Course description
Learn how arrays are defined, accessed, manipulated, and iterated over. Discover how to use and work with character data with strings and how C++ handles copying and string reference semantics under the covers while processing string data. Take a look at how to define functions and what libraries of useful functions exist out of the box along with control structures and looping constructs.
Prerequisites
This course assumes that students have some rudimentary understanding of general programming concepts. Watching Parts 1 and 2 in this series will be helpful. As with any such course, the more experience you bring to the course, the easier it will be to understand the material that is presented. As a result, if you know C# or Java, that might be somewhat helpful.
