"I saw 'cout' being shifted 'Hello World!' times to the left and stopped right there."
-- Steve Gonedes

I will teach you how to use modern (C++20), idiomatic C++ in this course, making heavy use of the standard libraries. We'll see that C != C++.
This is a CIS 19x class, which means the real lectures will be during the recitation sections. The "lecture" section will not be used. The common lectures are recorded and can be found on the CIS 19x webpage.

Prerequisites

CIS 1200
CIS 2400

The main point of these prerequisites are to ensure you know object oriented programming and C. Please speak with the instructor if you don't meet the prerequisites but already understand these concepts, or if you have any other questions.

Grading

50% assignments
5% attendance
10% canvas quizzes
15% midterm project
20% final project

Assignments

Assignments will be done in (randomly chosen) pairs. Partner information will be posted on Ed.
Assignments will be distributed on Github Classroom.
Late assignments will not be accepted, barring exceptional circumstances (email me in advance if possible).
All the code you write for assignments should be standards compliant and portable (work on any machine and C++20 compiler). This means you should be careful of undefined behavior. If in doubt, use g++-10 on eniac.
See the instructions for how to access an appropriate compiler for this class.
The standard academic integrity rules apply. In addition, do not copy code. You or your assignment partner should write all of the code. Low level (e.g. syntax) and high level (e.g. language concepts) discussions are fine, including with other pairs at your table.
Do not post your assignment solutions publicly (Github, personal website, etc.), even after the course ends. You can post your final project code, though.
If you think there was an error with grading, make a private post on Ed. This must be brought up within a week of the grades being released.

Final Project

The project will be done in pairs (chosen by you). Any moderately complex project is ok, as long as it uses C++.

Midterm Project

The details for the midterm project are still to be determined. The idea is that it will be a more structured coding project than the final project. Something bigger than the assignments but smaller than the final project.

Attendance

I will be using Poll Everywhere for in-class polls and to take attendance.

Participation

Before each class, there will be a quiz on Canvas that you must complete for participation grades.
These quizzes will only be graded for completeness, not correctness.

Ed Discussion

We will be using Ed for both Q&A and announcements. You should be signed up already after the first class. Email Paul if you are not. Posting on Ed is highly preferred over sending the staff direct emails.
