Sammendrag
The oThe object-oriented (OO) programming style is becoming more and more popular,
also among scientists. Several CERN computer libraries have been translated
from the Fortran programming language to C++ recently,
and it is expected that future analysis tools for particle
physics experiments will be programmed using an OO language.
This thesis describes the translation of the Fortran 77 alrmc
program (written by A. L. Read) into C++.
The program will perform
statistical analyses of searches for new particles at the LHC/ATLAS experiment.
The theory behind the program and its
new, object oriented structure are explained, and
tests are conducted to make sure that the C++ version of the program works.
