C++ For C Programmers, Part A

This course assumes the learner can already program in C and develops a transition toward C++. Its approximately fifteen-hour sequence uses programming exercises rather than treating C++ as an entirely new starting point. Part B provides a separate continuation after this foundation.

What you will learn

• Translate familiar C programming patterns into C++.
• Use C++ objects and language features in worked exercises.
• Reason about a program while changing its implementation style.

Who this suits

C programmers making the transition to C++. The provider classifies the course as intermediate.

Before you enroll

The title establishes a C-programming audience even though the prerequisite field is empty. A learner starting from scratch should choose a beginner programming course first.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Convert a small C program into C++ while preserving its output. Explain each design change and retain tests that demonstrate equivalent behavior.
