Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects (Coursera)

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects (Coursera)

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

Course 4 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • By the end of the course, you will be able to iterate over vectors of objects.
  • By the end of the course, you will have a good understanding of the matching algorithm.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use exception handling to write robust code.

This course is the second course in the specialization about learning how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment.
