Week 7-8: Additional Topics and Practice (Optional)

For these two weeks, you can focus on any of the following topics or spend time deepening concepts:

• Advanced Data Structures (Heaps, Graphs)
• Multithreading in C++
• More practice with real-world projects
• Deep dive into algorithms for competitive programming
• Revisiting complex C++ OOP topics (virtual destructors, multiple inheritance pitfalls, etc.)

This course provides enough time to grasp fundamental to advanced concepts in C/C++ and complete meaningful projects that solidify understanding.
