 «Programming Languages and OOM» is a second year course in Computer Engineering
Department curriculum. As a result of recent changes in the teaching program, this course
is mainly aimed now at both continuation of mastering C programming skills and introduction of C++ programming language (structured and object-oriented constituent
components). With this contents the CMPE-212 course is given in the Department for the first
time in Spring
semester of 2000/2001 academic year
For the time being CMPE-102 («Introduction to C Programming») remains a compulsory prerequisite for the «Programming Languages and OOM» course. Taking into consideration a fact that this course is
taken by students who just passed an introductory C course (a lucky minority of students also took CMPE-231 «Data Structures» before), we decided to keep links (see indicated clauses in the column below) to
those didactic materials (C laboratory experiments sheets, lecture slides, etc.), which
were used in CMPE-212 and later in CMPE-102 courses for the last 2 years. We strongly
recommend to keep for reference the books, which were recommended earlier in CMPE-102 course, especially «A Book on C. Programming in C» by Al Kelley and Ira Pohl, 4th edition, Addison-Wesley Publ., 1998
For the Spring semester of 2000/2001 academic year we selected the
textbook «Schaum's
Outline of Programming with C++» by J.R.Hubbard, McGraw-Hill,
Inc., 2nd edition, 2000. In the
lectures and laboratory experiments we intend to follow strictly the material of this book, although we also ordered for the bookstore
extra copies of other well-known C++ titles. As a result of transitional period in
Departmental curriculum, we intend in CMPE-212 course to provide introduction
to C++ and to cover both
structured and object-oriented aspects on the language. Later on "in-depth"
discussion of OOP (C++ and, most probably, Java) will be continued in CMPE-318 course

the duration of the course is 13 weeks = 46

This page is dedicated to one course «Programming Languages and Object-Oriented Methodology (OOM)» (CMPE-212) and corresponding materials on C/C++.
This is a new course for the Department (previously C++ Programming was given only to
third year students), and it is considered as a continuation of a C-based «Introduction to Programming» course (CMPE-102). The main topics of the course
cover both structured (process-oriented) and object-oriented aspects of C++. It includes
types, selection/iteration, pointers & references, arrays, functions, classes and
objects, overloading, composition and inheritance, templates.
The courseware is updated regularly, and most of the prepared materials and project work
done by students remain free for downloading...
Below You see links to courses given since
1997. I'm still trying my best to collect together all materials, which were prepared for
these courses (the work done by students is also covered):
(primarily
covers materials on C programming, i.e. laboratory experiments, lecture notes, selected
lecture slides, examples and explanations). In the Spring semester of 2000/2001 academic
year the course will be given in C++, and the corresponding documents will be published
here as well. The prerequisite for this course is CMPE-102, which provides an introduction
to C programming)
(this Graduate
course was given in the Department for the first time in the Spring semester of
1999/2000 academic year. Currently, the page summarizes one-semester work including
lecture notes (publically available slides), MATLAB examples and parts of projects
prepared by students. Links to different commercial and non-commercial "fuzzy"
software packages are provided. Later on I have a plan to modify the course and to
introduce also a chapter on Neuro-Fuzzy Systems)
(this page is still under
construction, but the main idea is to put together interesting links related to C/C++
programming and Fuzzy Logic. They indicate my interests and preferences, but on the other
hand, it is a source of information for students, a starting point to gain something new
(explanation, other links, tutorials, etc.)

*** ALL LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS in the course (Spring semester, 2000/2001 academic year) are based on the exercises and examples covered
by the TEXTBOOK
Before each laboratory experiment we'll announce the exercises which MUST be prepared before entering the lab - during the lab one or
two extra experiments are specified by assistants, and they have to be performed «on the
spot».
Laboratory works start on April 2, 2001 (Monday) - the 1st

«...With minor
exceptions, C++ is a
superset of C. Most differences stem from
C++'s greater emphasis on type checking. Well-written C programs tend to be C++ programs as
well. All differences between C++ and C
can be diagnosed by a compiler.
...C++ sits on the shoulders of C, one of the most important and widely used
programming languages ever for both systems programming and applications. C++ is a rich and flexible language that embodies all
of the important principles of object-oriented programming.
These factors have contributed greatly to its acceptance in the professional world
...The C language is like a carving knife: simple, sharp, and extremely useful in skilled hands.
Like any sharp tool, C can injure people who don't know how to handle it».

Want to save Your time while preparing C source code?
Try C Programming Wizard (version 1.0) written by Buket Çizili and Boran Gazi (Spring' 2000 graduates).
C Programming Wizard is a program that makes things easier -
You simply construct the code, inserting predefined C "templates" (directives,
declarations, expressions, statements, calls to library and user-defined functions,
comments, etc.) into the text of the future program. Extended Help
facilities (HTML format) direct Your work and teach at the same
time. The program can be especially helpful for those who make first steps in C
language.
The installation of C Programming Wizard (CPW 1.0) includes several steps (see readme.txt
file for more explanations). If You have found any deficiencies or bugs while using CPW,
please, send comments by e-mail. Words of gratitude
to authors are also welcome... Enjoy!
The final version of CPW
1.0 was released on January 25, 2000. Zip-archieve (526
Kb) includes 52 files in
subdirectories.
---------------------------------------------
Code Checker
program (version 0.1) was also prepared by Buket Çizili and Boran Gazi - our original idea mainly dealt with the attempt to design
the algorithm for checking syntactic correctness
(correspondence to prototypes) of ANSI C function calls in the source code. The current
simplified implementation of Code Checker (CoCh 0.1)
"recognizes" and checks 7 standard functions from stdio.h header file - these
are printf, fprintf, puts, fputs, putc,
fputc and putchar. Errors and
any suspicious cases found in function calls are indicated by messages and warnings.
Installation steps are explained in readme.txt
file. The proposed algorithm (code checking mechanism)
can be extended to cover other ANSI C function calls as well.
The final version of CoCh
0.1 was released on January 25, 2000. Zip-archieve (387
Kb) includes 4 files in subdirectories
