CSE86 -
C++ for Java Programmers
Units: 2
Course Objectives:
Starting Fall 2007, CSE 30 is removed as a prerequisite and CSE 12 is added.
Java is the preferred language of choice at most Universities for introductory and advanced
object-oriented programming courses. However, C++ is still extensively used in industry and
in some special purpose advanced courses as well as embedded systems and several engineering
disciplines. The course helps to bridge the gap for Java programmers to learn essential
C++ programming to be productive in C++ development environments.
Course Description:
The objective of the course is to help the Java programmer to be productive in the C++ programming
environment. Topics include the similarities and differences between Java and C++ with special
attention to pointers, operator overloading, templates, the STL, the preprocessor, and the C++
Runtime Environment.
Format: Per week: 1.5 hours of lecture, 1 hour of discussion, and 3.5 hours of outside preparation.
Prerequisites:
CSE 12 or consent of the instructors.
Other restrictions:
P/NP only.
Laboratory work:
Programming assignments.
