C++ For C Programmers, Part B

Part B carries the C-to-C++ transition into a more substantial game implementation. Hex supplies a setting for graphs, inheritance and simulation, alongside STL and move-semantics work. The provider estimates about fifteen hours for this continuation.

What you will learn

• Represent a game board as a graph.
• Apply STL containers and inheritance in a larger program.
• Use simulation to compare possible moves.

Who this suits

C programmers with the C++ foundations covered in Part A or equivalent experience.

Before you enroll

This intermediate continuation should follow foundational C++ study. Monte Carlo examples illustrate simulation techniques; test their behavior across repeated runs rather than expecting identical output.

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

Create a small Hex board and verify legal moves before adding simulations. Fix the random seed when debugging, then compare results across several seeds.
