The aim of this course is to equip students with structured and object-oriented programming skills using the C++ programming language, to teach the operational logic of fundamental data structures and algorithms, and to improve their problem-solving abilities. Within the scope of the course, students first learn the fundamental structures of the C++ programming language and subsequently examine data structures and algorithm design concepts through practical applications.

Within the scope of the course, the fundamental concepts of the C++ programming language are first introduced in detail, including data types, variables, operators, decision structures, loops, functions, arrays, character arrays, pointer usage, dynamic memory management, and file operations. In addition, the concepts of structures (`struct`) and classes (`class`) are covered as an introduction to object-oriented programming. In the continuation of the course, data structures and algorithms are examined. In this context, algorithm analysis, time complexity, and Big-O notation are explained, while fundamental data structures such as linked lists, stacks, queues, and tree structures are introduced. Furthermore, linear search, binary search, and basic sorting algorithms are studied through practical applications. By the end of the course, it is aimed to improve students’ skills in problem solving, algorithm development, and selecting appropriate data structures.
