ABOUT THIS COURSE

Manipulating large numbers is a vital tool that is essential across various domains. The challenge arises because the primitive data types provided by C++ cannot handle such large numbers. You will address this challenge by crafting your HugeInt class in this course. This class has several constructors and assignment operators to facilitate efficient deep copying and features a comprehensive set of arithmetic operations. This class is designed to serve as a backbone for various application developments, providing a practical solution to the complexities posed by large integers. The course will delve into the transformation of object-oriented programming (OOP) design into abstract data types (ADT). Additionally, you’ll explore the critical aspect of efficiency in designing libraries, emphasizing its significance in developing large-scale applications. By the end, you’ll possess the skills to create efficient and adaptable libraries that adhere to object-oriented principles.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
