GOAL/BENEFITS:

• String management
• Basic input/output – Making the user-defined type readable and writeable by understanding the concepts of the iostream-API
• Comprehend the different kinds of sequential and associative container classes
• Understand concept of iterators wiring the collections with the algorithms
• Understand concept of predicate function for controlling the behavior of an algorithm
• Understand the importance of sound memory management by always using smart pointers when applicable
• A set of exercises practicing the concepts
• Applying a unit testing as a natural way of testing/evaluating/running most of the exercises – in line with the predecessor course “C Level 1”
