What is cpp_modules?

cpp_modules is a progressive series of C++ learning modules covering essential object-oriented programming topics. Each module is designed to build upon previous concepts, guiding developers through a structured learning path from C++ basics to advanced concepts like multiple inheritance and polymorphism.

The project complies with 42 School coding standards and implements modern C++98 best practices.

Learning Objectives

These modules are made to learn about:

• C++ Fundamentals: Syntax, classes, objects and encapsulation
• Memory Management: Dynamic allocation, RAII and resource management
• Advanced OOP: Inheritance, polymorphism and abstract classes
• Overloading: Operators and functions for greater expressiveness
• Best Practices: Orthodox canonical form and design patterns
• Debugging: Problem-solving techniques and memory management

---

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/denuen/42_cursus.git
cd 42_cursus/cpp_modules

Each module can be compiled individually:

cd cpp_XX/exYY
make

---

Usage

Each exercise has its own executable:

# Example for cpp_00/ex00
cd cpp_00/ex00
make
./megaphone "Hello World"

# Example for cpp_03/ex01
cd cpp_03/ex01
make
./scavtrap

Consult the specific README of each module for detailed instructions.
