C++ Module 01

Concepts:

• dynamic memory allocation: new and delete
• pointers to members
• references
• file manipulation
• switch statements

ex00

Implemented a Zombie class with functions to create and announce zombies, exploring stack vs. heap allocation and object lifetime management.

Usage:

make

./zombie

ex01

Created a zombieHorde() function that dynamically allocates and initializes multiple zombies in a single block, practicing memory management and cleanup.

Usage:

make

./horde

ex02

Demonstrated the difference between pointers and references by printing both memory addresses and values of the same string in multiple ways.

Usage:

make

./brain

ex03

Built Weapon, HumanA, and HumanB classes to explore the differences between holding objects by reference vs. by pointer and their effect on object behavior.

Usage:

make

./violence

ex04

Developed a text-replacement program that reads a file, replaces all occurrences of a given string with another, and outputs to a .replace file without using std::string::replace().

Usage:

make

./antiSed <filename> <string1> <string2>

ex05

Automated a Harl class to print preset messages based on severity level using pointers to member functions instead of chained conditionals.

Usage:

make

./harl

ex06

Extended Harl with a filter system to display only messages at or above a given severity level, using a switch statement for control flow.

Usage:

make

./harlFilter <LEVEL>
