Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects (Coursera)

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects (Coursera)

This course is the fourth of five courses aiming to help you to become confident working in the object-oriented paradigm in the C++ language. This specialisation is for individuals who want to learn about objected oriented programming. It's an all-in-one package that will take you from the very fundamentals of C++, all the way to building a crypto-currency exchange platform.

During the five courses, you will work with the instructor on a single project: a crypto-currency exchange platform. Whilst building the project, you will learn about a range of programming techniques from basic control flow and input/output through to file parsing, object-oriented techniques and user interaction on the console.
In this fourth course, you will implement the matching engine for the crypto-currency exchange platform. You will learn about C++ vector iterations, test data to evaluate the matching engine algorithm, and deepen your knowledge about exception handling to write robust code.
Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

  • Write functions that calculate basic statistics by iterating over vectors of objects
  • Use test data to evaluate the correctness of an algorithm
  • Use exception handling to write robust user input processing code

Course 4 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • By the end of the course, you will be able to iterate over vectors of objects.
  • By the end of the course, you will have a good understanding of the matching algorithm.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use exception handling to write robust code.
