Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform III: functions (Coursera)

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform III: functions (Coursera)

This course is the third 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 third course, you will start learning about C++ exception handling and reading data from files. You will learn about string processing, exception handling, data reading from a file, and how to convert pseudocode algorithms into working C++ code.
Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

  • Convert pseudocode algorithms involving iteration, logic and string processing into working C++ code
  • Use exception handling to gracefully recover when processing unreliable data
  • Read text data from a file using the getline function

Course 3 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • By the end of the course, you will be able to convert pseudocode algorithms into working C++ code.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use exception handling when processing unreliable data.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use C++ built-in functions to read data from files.
