🇹🇿 C++ Programming Syllabus – Form Five (Advanced Secondary Education)
1. Introduction to C++ Programming
Purpose of Programming Languages: Understanding the role of programming languages in
solving problems.
History of C++: From C to C++, highlighting key developments and features.
Programming Environment: Familiarity with Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
and compilers.
2. Data Types and Variables
Primitive Data Types: int, float, double, char, bool.
Derived Data Types: Arrays, strings.
User-defined Data Types: Structures (struct), Enumerations (enum), and Classes (class).
Constants: Using const to define constant values.
3. Control Structures
Conditional Statements: if, else, switch.
Loops: for, while, do-while.
Break and Continue: Controlling loop execution.
4. Functions
Definition and Declaration: Creating functions to perform specific tasks.
Function Overloading: Defining multiple functions with the same name but different
parameters.
Recursion: Functions calling themselves to solve problems.
5. Arrays and Strings
Arrays: Declaring and initializing arrays, accessing array elements.
Strings: Using character arrays and the string class for handling text.
6. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts
Classes and Objects: Defining classes and creating objects.
Encapsulation: Hiding data implementation details.
Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones.
Polymorphism: Using a single interface to represent different underlying forms.
7. File Handling
File Streams: Reading from and writing to files using fstream.
File Operations: Opening, closing, reading, and writing files.
8. Error Handling
Exceptions: Using try, catch, and throw to handle errors gracefully.
