Free Online Course: C++ Object Basics: Functions, Recursion, and Objects provided by Coursera is a comprehensive online course, which lasts for 4 weeks long, 8-9 hours worth of material. The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Upon completion of the course, you can receive an e-certificate from Coursera. C++ Object Basics: Functions, Recursion, and Objects is taught by Anh Le and Elise Deitrick.

Overview
  • Code and run your first C++ program in minutes without installing anything!

    This course is designed for learners with limited coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just C++, but core Computer Science topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover functions, recursion, objects, and mutability. Completion of the prior 2 courses in this specialization are recommended.

    To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

Syllabus
    • User-Defined Functions
      • Re-use pieces of code by wrapping them in functions. You can create functions that take in and/or return data.
    • Recursion
      • Use recursion for special cases of iteration.
    • Introduction to Objects
      • Learn about user-defined classes and how to use them to create objects.
    • Mutability
      • Change the attributes associated with an object through functions.
