Introduction to C++: Programming Concepts and Applications: Expanding What Your Functions Can Do in C++

A parameter is a piece of data used as input into a function. Discover how to create two functions, each with the same name, but with different numbers of parameters—an approach called overloading. Also look at different ways to ‚Äúpass” parameters to produce an output, either preserving the parameter’s value (pass by value) or changing it (pass by reference). Taught by Professor John Keyser of Texas A&M University, this course is a step-by-step guide to the popular computer programming language C++. Professor Keyser explains how to access C++ so you can program along with him as he covers the major coding styles offered by this versatile language, including object-oriented programming. In the last lecture, you create an AI game-playing program.
