Scope

Object-Oriented Features
Fundamental OO features, embodied in C++ classes

Basic OOPs concepts, example

Classes: definition, attributes, methods

Customer class: definition/declaration, implementation

File organization: header files, implementation files

Minimum class functions: declaration, implementation

Objects

Definition, UML syntax, comparison with classes

Creating C++ objects: automatic, dynamic

Automatic objects: syntax, proper style, common mistakes

Dynamic objects: syntax, features, common mistakes

Managing object pointers to keep them safe.
