About Fundamentals of OOP in C++ Exam
The Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++ exam evaluates a candidate’s understanding of core OOP principles and their implementation in C++. The exam covers key OOP concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, along with C++-specific features like constructors, destructors, operator overloading, and exception handling. Additionally, the exam assesses proficiency in memory management, data structures, and the use of standard template libraries (STL). Candidates will be tested on their ability to write clean, efficient, and modular C++ code following best programming practices.
