1. C++ Motivation and Course Framework

★ Must-know

  • C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in 1985 as an extension of C with object-oriented features.

📌 C++ combines near-assembly performance, manual memory control, object-oriented programming, generic programming, and procedural programming.

Further detail

  • C++ is used in:
    • operating systems
    • compilers
    • drivers
    • games
    • trading systems
    • robotics
    • embedded systems
    • performance-critical applications

Memory Hook

C++ performance and control → systems, games, embedded software

2. Programming Languages and Abstraction

★ Must-know

  • The abstraction levels are:
    • machine
    • assembly
    • low-level
    • mid-level
    • high-level
    • very high-level
