Implementation of ByteArray in C++

Overview

A ByteArray in C++ is a sequence or collection of bytes, often used to handle binary data, manage raw memory, or work with data streams like files, network packets, or encoded data.

Implementation in C++

In C++, the std::vector<uint8_t> is a popular choice for a dynamic ByteArray, while std::array<uint8_t, N> provides a fixed-size alternative.

Here are the descriptions of each method implemented in this project:

• append – Adds data to the end of the byte array.
• prepend – Adds data to the beginning of the byte array.
• remove – Removes a specified number of bytes starting from a given index.
• mid – Returns a part of the byte array from a specific index and length.
• size – Gets the number of bytes in the byte array.
• clear – Empties the byte array.
• contains – Checks if the byte array contains the specified data.
• indexOf – Finds the index of the first occurrence of the specified data.
• left / right – Returns the leftmost or rightmost bytes.
• toHex – Converts the byte array to a hexadecimal representation.
• fromHex – Creates a byte array from a hexadecimal string.
• chop – Removes a specified number of bytes from the end of the array.
• resize – Resizes the byte array to the specified length.
• isEmpty – Checks if the byte array is empty.
• data – Provides access to the underlying data as a char*.
• fill – Fills the byte array with a specific character.
• trimmed – Removes whitespace from the beginning and end of the byte array.

How to Run the Program

If you want to run this program, type make in the root of the project:

make

On Windows

After this command main.exe has created, now you can type ./main command to run the .exe file.
