This repository contains C++ sample codes that I adopted from various sources to help instruct programming. These samples try to help newcomers quickly find an appropriate pattern for solving their programming problems. Also they can quickly find out how a certain language construct, or a popular function is generally used.
Each sample has a separate folder of its own, and is usually in a file named Prog.cpp. If you want to build a sample with Microsoft Visual Studio, then you need to create a project and copy the sample into that project by your own.
However there's a Makefile in each directory, which makes the process of building and running the samples easier in Linux/Unix and Cygwin. In order to build each sample, simply cd to its directory and run make to build the required executable. Run make clean to clean-up your directory. Also make full, first cleans and then rebuilds each sample.
Beside several Internet sources, the following are the main references that I used during the course of creating these samples. Most of the samples are adopted from the first reference. Even many of the comments are quoted from it. I strongly recommend studying the first reference, if you are learning C++ as a first programming language.
