42 C++ Modules 🚀

This repository contains my solutions to the C++ pool modules (C00 to C09) from the 42 School curriculum.

These modules are designed to transition students from procedural C programming to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++98, focusing strictly on memory safety, the Orthodox Canonical Class Form, and the Standard Template Library (STL).

📚 Curriculum Breakdown

Each module introduces progressively more complex OOP paradigms and C++ features:

Core OOP (C00 - C04)

• CPP00: Namespaces, classes, member functions, stdio streams, initialization lists, static, const, and basic OOP.
• CPP01: Memory allocation (new/delete), references, pointers to members, file streams.
• CPP02: Ad-hoc polymorphism, operator overloading, and the Orthodox Canonical Class Form.
• CPP03: Inheritance (Single and Multiple).
• CPP04: Subtype polymorphism, abstract classes, interfaces.

Advanced Concepts (C05 - C09)

• CPP05: Exception handling, try/catch blocks.
• CPP06: C++ Casts (static_cast, dynamic_cast, reinterpret_cast, const_cast).
• CPP07: C++ Templates (Function templates and Class templates).
• CPP08: Templated containers, iterators, and algorithms (STL).
• CPP09: Practical applications of STL containers (Maps, Stacks, Vectors, Deques) for complex algorithmic problems (e.g., Reverse Polish Notation, Ford-Johnson merge-insert sort).

🛠 Rules & Technologies

• Language: C++98
• Compiler: c++ with flags -Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=c++98
• Style: The Orthodox Canonical Class Form is strictly enforced from Module 02 onwards, requiring:
  1. Default Constructor
  2. Copy Constructor
  3. Copy Assignment Operator
  4. Destructor

🚀 Execution

Each subfolder contains its own Makefile. To compile and run a specific exercise:

cd c00/ex01
make
./phonebook
