This course is the fourth of five courses aiming to help you to become confident working in the object-oriented paradigm in the C++ language. 
This specialisation is for individuals who want to learn about objected oriented programming. It's an all-in-one package that will take you from the very fundamentals of C++, all the way to building a crypto-currency exchange platform.

During the five courses, you will work with the instructor on a single project: a crypto-currency exchange platform. Whilst building the project, you will learn about a range of programming techniques from basic control flow and input/output through to file parsing, object-oriented techniques and user interaction on the console. 

In this fourth course, you will implement the matching engine for the crypto-currency exchange platform.  You will learn about C++ vector iterations, test data to evaluate the matching engine algorithm, and deepen your knowledge about exception handling to write robust code. 

Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

* Write functions that calculate basic statistics by iterating over vectors of objects
* Use test data to evaluate the correctness of an algorithm
* Use exception handling to write robust user input processing code

About the Object Oriented Programming Specialization

In this 5-course specialisation, you will develop various C++ programming skills. Rather than building many small programs as you will in other courses, we have taken a different approach: you will create a single, extensive program through the five courses. The program will be a simplified cryptocurrency exchange platform. We will cover the following learning objectives:

Use control flow to build interactive, multi-branched, iterated programs Select appropriate data types to model the trading platform's information Convert algorithms from pseudo-code to C++ and test them Use classes to combine data and functions and to model interactions between different parts of a program Understand how to construct an extensive program from multiple modules The content for this specialisation is taken from the University of London's online BSc Computer Science degree. If you complete the courses and eventually take the course 'Object Oriented Programming' in the degree, you progress should be carried across.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
