• Write procedural C and C++ programs
• Explain how signed 2’s complement and unsigned numbers, and floating point numbers are represented within a computer, and explain how that impacts performance
• Describe the transformation of code from a high-level language like C++ to machine-level instructions

• Explain how variables are allocated in memory, the relationship between variables and pointers, and the scope and lifetime of variables
• Make use of argument passing by value, reference, and address
• Write object-oriented C++ programs making use of C++ operator overloading, polymorphism, and virtual vs. non-virtual methods
