Course Description
This module is all about class design and inheritance. We will introduce the concepts of good class design. We will show the way to use inheritance to describe real world objects. It will also describe different types of inheritance and how to use them but will also introduce a concept of composition that can be used to describe components of the real-life object.
Learning Objectives
- Learn principles of good class design
- Learn about inheritance

Skills You Will Learn
- C++ Fundamentals
- C++ Concepts
- C++ Modules
- Function Module
- Standard Template Library (STL)
- Template Metaprogramming
What You'll Learn
- Use STL sequence containers including vectors, queue, deque, stack, and list
- Compare list versus vector to choose the right sequence container
- Apply associative containers such as sets, multisets (bags), and maps
- Work with unordered or hash maps and contrast maps versus hash maps
- Traverse STL containers using iterators
Key Takeaways
- The course covers STL sequence containers, including vectors, queue, deque, stack, and list.
- It addresses associative containers such as sets, multisets (bags), and maps.
- It distinguishes between maps and unordered or hash maps.
- It teaches the use of iterators to work with containers.
- Topics build on C++ fundamentals and the Standard Template Library (STL).
Frequently Asked Questions
What containers does this course cover?
It covers sequence containers such as vectors, queue, deque, stack, and list, as well as associative containers including sets, multisets (bags), maps, and unordered or hash maps.
Does the course explain the difference between similar containers?
Yes. It includes lessons comparing list versus vector and maps versus hash maps.
What skills does this course build?
It develops C++ Fundamentals, C++ Concepts, C++ Modules, Function Module, the Standard Template Library (STL), and Template Metaprogramming.
How do you access elements across these containers?
The course includes a lesson on iterators, which are used to traverse the containers.
