🧠 Logic-Craft: CPP & Python

A dual-language repository where the same logic problems are solved in both C++ and Python — built to strengthen programming fundamentals and explore how different languages approach the same challenges.

📌 About This Repository

This repo is part of my first-year CS journey. The idea is simple: take a programming concept, implement it in C++, then implement the same idea in Python — and see how each language handles it differently.

Each project lives in its own folder with two versions:

• CPP_Version/ — the original C++ implementation
• Python_Version/ — the Python reimagining with improvements

🔢 Generic Condition Counter

Count elements in a collection based on any condition — using function pointers in C++ and first-class functions in Python.

	C++ Version	Python Version
Input	Random array (1–100 elements)	User fills list manually until "stop"
Logic	bool (*condition)(int) function pointer	Lambda / function passed directly
Output	Count of even numbers	Even & odd lists printed separately
Extra	rand() + srand() for randomness	Full input validation with error handling

C++ — How to run:

g++ CPP_Version/GenericConditionCounter.cpp -o counter
./counter

Python — How to run:

python Python_Version/GenericConditionCounter.py

💡 Key Concepts Covered

Concept	C++	Python
Arrays / Collections	Fixed-size arrays	Dynamic lists
Higher-order functions	Function pointers	First-class functions
Input validation	do-while loop	try/except + loop
Random generation	rand() / srand()	(user input instead)
Error handling	Basic range check	Catches non-integer input

🧠 What I'm Learning

• How the same logic can be expressed differently across languages
• The power of higher-order functions (function pointers in C++, callables in Python)
• Writing clean, reusable functions instead of monolithic code
• Input validation and error handling in both languages
• Thinking in data structures: arrays vs. lists

---

🌱 What's Coming Next

• Add more problems (sorting, searching, string manipulation)
• Add README.md inside each project folder with deeper explanation
• Use std::vector in C++ versions
• Explore std::mt19937 for better randomness in C++
• Write unit tests for the Python versions

Every problem solved in two languages is twice the understanding. Still learning, always building. 💪
