  4. Console I/O with stream classes
  5. Basic string handling
  6. Loop and flow-control statements
  7. Arrays
  8. Using functions and methods
  9. Using Standard Template Library (STL) containers (vectors, linked lists, and maps)
  10. Iterators
  11. Sorting and generic functions
  12. Basic class design
  13. Pointers and arrays
  14. File I/O
  15. Memory-management techniques, including statically and dynamically allocated memory
  16. Adding stream support to custom classes
  17. Conversion operators
