C++ Module 08

My solutions for the C++ module exercises at 42 School. Each exercise is to understand C++ concepts, mostly templating and STL (Standard Template Library), inheritance, polymorphism, and container adaptors.

Prerequisites

• A C++ compiler supporting the C++98 standard

Compilation

Each exercise directory contains a Makefile for easy compilation. To compile an exercise, navigate to its directory and run:

cd ex00 && make && ./ex00

This will produce an executable named after the exercise (e.g., ex00, ex01, etc.), which you can then run:

Exercise 00: Easy Find

• Directory: ex00/
• Objective: Implement a template function easyfind that searches for a given integer in any STL container and throws an exception if the integer is not found.
• Key Concepts: Templating, STL algorithms, Exception handling.

Exercise 01: Span

• Directory: ex01/
• Objective: Develop a Span class capable of storing a maximum number of integers and providing the shortest and longest span between stored integers.
• Key Concepts: Class design, STL containers and algorithms, Dynamic memory management.

Exercise 02: Mutated Abomination

• Directory: ex02/
• Objective: Extend the std::stack container to make it iterable, without altering its original functionality. By inheriting from std::stack, we introduce iterability to the MutantStack class without changing its original stack functionality. This involves exposing iterators that allow traversal of the stack elements from bottom to top, effectively turning the stack into a linearly iterable container while retaining its LIFO (Last In, First Out) nature
• Key Concepts: Inheritance, Container adaptors, Iterator protocol.

Running the Tests

Each exercise includes a main function with comprehensive tests to demonstrate the functionality and to ensure correctness. After compiling an exercise, run the executable to see the test outcomes.
