C++ Modules

This repository contains the 42 C++ module track, a progression of focused exercises that move from basic syntax into object-oriented design, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, exceptions, casts, STL containers, and algorithmic thinking.

The value of the project is in the repetition: each small program isolates one concept and builds confidence with C++ without relying on a framework.

What it covers

• C++ class design and encapsulation
• Constructors, destructors, copy constructors, and assignment operators
• The Canonical Orthodox Form
• Operator overloads
• Fixed-point arithmetic
• Inheritance and polymorphism
• Abstract classes and interfaces
• Exceptions and error handling
• C++ casts
• Templates and generic programming
• STL containers and algorithms

Repository structure

cpp00/ ... cpp09/   Module exercises
examr5/             Exam practice
examr52/            Additional exam practice

Each exercise usually contains its own:

Makefile
*.hpp
*.cpp
main.cpp

Build and run

Enter an exercise directory:

cd cpp04/ex03
make
./game

The executable name depends on the exercise Makefile.

Useful commands

make
make clean
make fclean
make re

Technical highlights

• Keeps each concept isolated in a small, reviewable program
• Uses strict compiler flags across exercises
• Practices memory ownership and object lifetime repeatedly
• Builds from simple command-line programs into larger class hierarchies

Skills demonstrated

• C++ fundamentals
• Object-oriented programming
• Debugging compiler and linker issues
• Reading and implementing precise project specifications
• Building disciplined habits across many small codebases

Notes

These modules are educational by design. Together, they show the progression from C-style thinking into idiomatic C++ structure and abstraction.
