These modules are an introduction to Object Oriented Programming. This will be the starting point of the C++ journey. You will discover new concepts step-by-step. The exercises will progressively increase in complexity.
- Compile your code with c++ and the flags -Wall -Wextra -Werror
- Your code should still compile if you add the flag -std=c++98
- The exercise directories will be named this way: ex00, ex01, ... , exn
- Name your files, classes, functions, member functions and attributes as required in the guidelines.
- Write class names in UpperCamelCase format. Files containing class code will always be named according to the class name.
- Unless specified otherwise, every output messages must be ended by a new-line character and displayed to the standard output.
- You are allowed to use almost everything from the standard library. Thus, instead of sticking to what you already know, it would be smart to use as much as possible the C++-ish versions of the C functions you are used to.
- However, you can’t use any other external library. It means C++11 (and derived forms) and Boost ibraries are forbidden. The following functions are forbidden too: printf(), alloc() and free().
- Note that unless explicitly stated otherwise, the using namespace <ns_name> and friend keywords are forbidden.
- You are allowed to use the STL in Module 08 only. That means: no Containers (vector/list/map/and so forth) and no Algorithms (anything that requires to include the header) until then.
- Memory leakage occurs in C++ too. When you allocate memory (by using the new keyword), you must avoid memory leaks.
- From Module 02 to Module 08, your classes must be designed in the Orthodox Canonical Form, except when explicitely stated otherwise.
- You should be able to use each of your headers independently from others. Thus, they must include all the dependencies they need. However, you must avoid the problem of double inclusion by adding include guards.
