OOP in C++: final assessment

This covers the whole course. Take it after the last module.

Practical assessment: Build a course registration system

Without using hints, write a program that registers students on courses, with a seat limit on each course and prerequisites to check.

• Students and courses are classes with private data and const getters
• There are at least two kinds of course, for example lectures and labs, which differ through virtual functions
• Registering a student on a full course, or one whose prerequisite they lack, throws an exception of your own type
• One registry class owns every object it creates, cannot be copied, and frees everything when it is destroyed
• operator<< prints a student's timetable and a course's class list, and the program compiles with no warnings under -Wall -Wextra

Final project

A bank account system: Build a program that manages several kinds of bank account, with deposits, withdrawals, transfers, monthly interest and a statement for each account.

How it is evaluated

• Correctness: the program does what every requirement says, including on empty and full cases
• Design: each class has one clear responsibility, and inheritance is used only for is a
• Safety: data is encapsulated, ownership is clear, and nothing leaks or is deleted twice
• Clarity: const-correct code with clear names and small member functions

To complete this course

• Score at least 70% on the final quiz
• Solve the beginner and intermediate exercises in every lesson
• Finish the final project and check it against the evaluation criteria
