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

The next offering of the class will be in Fall 2022.

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 120
CIS 240 (or knowledge of C and how pointers work)

Please speak with the instructor if you don't meet these requirement or have any other questions.

Grading

70% homework
30% project

Homework

Homeworks will be distributed on Github Classroom.
Late homeworks are accepted for up to 3 days after the due date, with a penalty of 30% of the homework grade.
To submit a late homework, just make a commit in your Github repository with a commit message that starts with the string "LATE SUBMISSION".
Otherwise, late assignments will not be accepted, barring exceptional circumstances (email me in advance if possible).
All the code you write for homework 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.
Instructions for accessing the eniac server can be found here.
The standard academic integrity rules apply. In addition, do not copy code. You should write all of your own code. Low level (e.g. syntax) and high level (e.g. language concepts) discussions are fine.
Do not post your homework solutions publicly (Github, etc), even after the course ends. You can post your project code, though.
If you think there was an error with grading, make a private post on Piazza. This must be brought up within a week of the grades being released.

Project

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

Participation

I will be using Poll Everywhere for in-class polls.

We will be using Piazza for both Q&A and announcements. Please sign up by clicking here. Posting on Piazza is highly preferred over sending the instructor or TAs direct emails.
