C++ Modules 00-04

This repository contains a series of C++ learning modules, each divided into several exercises. The modules are designed to progressively introduce and reinforce core C++ concepts, from basic syntax to object-oriented programming and advanced features.

Project Structure

• cpp00/ — Introduction to C++ basics, command-line arguments, classes, and static members.
• cpp01/ — Memory allocation, references, pointers, and file I/O.
• cpp02/ — Fixed-point numbers, operator overloading, and class design.
• cpp03/ — Inheritance, polymorphism, and advanced class features.
• cpp04/ — Abstract classes, interfaces, deep copies, and more complex inheritance.

Each module (cpp00 to cpp04) contains several exercises (ex00, ex01, etc.), each in its own subdirectory. Every exercise is a standalone C++ program with its own Makefile.

How to Build and Run

1. Navigate to the desired exercise directory, e.g.:

   cd cpp01/ex03

2. Build the program using the provided Makefile:

   make

3. Run the resulting executable (the name may vary, often ex00, ex01, etc., or as specified in the Makefile):

   ./ex03

Module Overview

cpp00

• ex00: Simple program to convert input to uppercase (megaphone).
• ex01: PhoneBook application using classes and arrays.
• ex02: Bank account management with static class members and logging.

cpp01

• ex00: Stack vs heap allocation with a Zombie class.
• ex01: Dynamic array of objects (zombieHorde).
• ex02: Demonstrates pointers and references.
• ex03: Classes with references and member functions (HumanA, HumanB, Weapon).
• ex04: File I/O and string replacement.
• ex05: Simple logging class (Harl).
• ex06: Extended logging with switch/case logic.

cpp02

• ex00: Fixed-point number class basics.
• ex01: Operator overloading for fixed-point numbers.
• ex02: More advanced fixed-point operations.

cpp03

• ex00: Simple inheritance (ClapTrap class).
• ex01: Inheritance and method extension (ScavTrap).
• ex02: Multiple inheritance and method overriding (FragTrap).

cpp04

• ex00: Introduction to abstract classes and inheritance (Animal, Cat, Dog).
• ex01: Deep copy and resource management (Brain).
• ex02: Abstract base class and further inheritance (AAnimal).
• ex03: Interface implementation and advanced inheritance (Materia system).

Requirements

• C++98 standard (as enforced by the Makefiles)
• A C++ compiler (e.g., g++ or clang++)
