Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (Robert Lafore)
Structured. Optimized. UBIT Standardized.
This is my personal codebase for the Object-Oriented Programming (CS-352) course.
It contains my rewriting of the examples and solution codes for the exercises from Robert Lafore’s "Object-Oriented Programming in C++", fully adapted to meet the specific requirements of the UBIT BSSE curriculum.
Unlike standard student repositories, every class in this repository is built with a professional 5-Function Protocol to ensure data encapsulation and robustness:
| Function Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 1. Constructor | Initializes object state immediately upon creation. |
| 2. Destructor | Clean memory management and resource release. |
| 3. Setter | Safe data input and validation. |
| 4. Getter | Controlled data access (using cin/cout logic). |
| 5. Show() | Standardized display method for debugging and output. |
- Complete Coverage: Includes solution code for In-Chapter Examples and End-of-Chapter Exercises.
- Modular Architecture: Code is strictly separated into
examples/(theory) andexercises/(labs) for every chapter. - Clean Formatting: Proper indentation and meaningful variable naming used throughout.

If you are a student using this for reference, here is how to use these files:
- Clone or Download this repository.
- Open the folder in your preferred IDE (VS Code, DevC++, or CLion).
- Navigate to the specific chapter (e.g.,
Chapter-06-Objects-and-Classes/exercises). - Compile and run the
.cppfile.
Note: All codes are written in standard C++ and are compatible with GCC/MinGW compilers.
If you are a junior from UBIT or a fellow student reading this:
"Programming is not about typing, it's about thinking."
Use this repository to understand the logic and syntax, but always try to write the code yourself first. The "5-Function Protocol" used here is a great habit to build early in your career!
This repository is strictly for educational purposes. The solutions provided here are my own interpretations of the exercises. Students are encouraged to use this as a reference but should write their own code to ensure true learning.
