Contents: The C++ Pool covers various topics through a series of projects and exercises. Below is an outline of what you'll be working on:

Basics of C++
    Syntax and structure
    Basic data types
    Input/Output
    Control structures (loops, conditionals)
    Functions and scope

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
    Classes and Objects
    Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism
    Constructors and Destructors
    Operator overloading

Memory Management
    Pointers and references
    Dynamic memory allocation
    Smart pointers
    RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization)

Advanced C++ Concepts
    Templates and generic programming
    STL (Standard Template Library) usage
    Iterators and algorithms
    Exception handling

Code Optimization and Best Practices
    Writing efficient C++ code
    Code refactoring
    Debugging and profiling tools
    Adhering to C++ coding standards

Getting Started Prerequisites

Before starting the C++ Pool, you should be comfortable with basic programming concepts. Experience with another programming language, such as C, is beneficial but not required. Environment Setup

Compiler: Make sure you have a C++ compiler installed on your system. The recommended compiler is clang++ or g++.
Editor: You can use any text editor or IDE you prefer. Common choices include Vim, Emacs, VSCode, or CLion.
Version Control: Familiarize yourself with Git, as you'll need it to manage your projects and submit your work.

Running the Code

To compile and run your C++ code, you can use the following command:

bash

g++ -Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=c++98 -o program_name source_file.cpp ./program_name

Project Submission

Submit your projects using the Git submission process outlined by 42 School.
Ensure that your code adheres to the Norm and that you've tested your code thoroughly before submission.

Tips for Success

Practice Regularly: The more you practice, the more comfortable you'll become with C++.
Read Documentation: The C++ reference (cppreference.com) is an invaluable resource.
Collaborate: Don't hesitate to ask for help from peers and participate in group study sessions.
Debugging: Learn to use debugging tools like gdb or lldb to trace and fix issues in your code.
Test Thoroughly: Write test cases for your code to ensure it handles all edge cases.
