CPP Modules

This repository contains exercises from the CPP Modules, a series of projects designed to teach object-oriented programming in C++ at 42 School. The modules cover fundamental and advanced C++ concepts, encouraging good coding practices and deep understanding of the language.

📌 Overview of CPP Modules

CPP Module 00 - Basics of C++

• Introduction to C++
• I/O streams (std::cout, std::cin)
• namespace, iostream, std::string
• The difference between new and delete
• Creating and destroying objects

CPP Module 01 - Memory and Pointers

• Understanding memory allocation and references
• The this pointer
• File streams (ifstream, ofstream)
• Passing by reference vs. passing by value

CPP Module 02 - Ad-hoc Polymorphism, Operator Overloading

• Introduction to class-specific operators (operator overloading)
• Fixed-point arithmetic
• Copy constructor and assignment operator

CPP Module 03 - Inheritance

• Understanding inheritance (public, protected, private)
• Base class and derived class
• Virtual functions and polymorphism

CPP Module 04 - Abstract Classes and Interfaces

• Pure virtual functions
• Abstract classes
• Implementation of interfaces
• Understanding destructors in inheritance

CPP Module 05 - Exception Handling

• Handling errors using try, catch, and throw
• Standard exceptions (std::exception)
• Creating custom exceptions

CPP Module 06 - C++ Type Conversions

• Implicit and explicit conversions
• Scalar type conversion
• reinterpret_cast and dynamic_cast

CPP Module 07 - Templates

• Introduction to C++ templates
• Function templates and class templates
• Implementing generic programming concepts

CPP Module 08 - Templated Containers, Iterators, Algorithms

• Understanding STL (Standard Template Library)
• std::vector, std::list, std::map
• Iterators (begin(), end(), find())
• Algorithm functions (sort(), reverse(), etc.)

CPP Module 09 - Mutant Stack & Advanced STL

• Understanding the stack container
• Custom iterators
• Creating a MutantStack class with iterators
