System Study Repository

This repository is a personal C++ study workspace used to build practical skills through small programs, algorithm exercises, and focused experiments.

Goals

1. Build a strong understanding of core C++ syntax and semantics.
2. Practice problem-solving with algorithms and data structures.
3. Improve debugging, testing, and code-reading habits.
4. Keep reusable examples for interview prep and daily reference.

Repository layout

• algorithms/: algorithm exercises and problem-focused implementations.
• sandbox/: compile and run anything you want.
• 00.cpp_basics/: language fundamentals and syntax drills.
• Additional folders are added over time for topics like systems, networking, and architecture-oriented C++ practice.

Prerequisites

• A C++ compiler with C++17 support (for example: g++, clang++, MSVC).
• A terminal (PowerShell, Command Prompt, Bash, or similar).
• Optional: an editor/IDE such as VS Code, CLion, or Visual Studio.

Build and run

Linux/macOS (g++)

g++ -Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=c++17 1_hello_world.cpp -o hello
./hello

Windows (MinGW g++)

g++ -Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=c++17 .\1_hello_world.cpp -o hello.exe
.\hello.exe

Sandbox quick run (Windows, cpp\sandbox)

cd .\sandbox
.\build-and-run

Windows (MSVC)

cl /W4 /EHsc /std:c++17 1_hello_world.cpp
.\1_hello_world.exe

Study approach

• Keep each example focused on one concept.
• Prefer readable, self-contained code over clever shortcuts.
• Add comments only when they explain intent or non-obvious tradeoffs.
• Revisit old exercises and refactor them with better style over time.
