C++ Challenges

Step-by-Step C++ Skill-Building Projects

1. Basic: Calculator with Memory Management

   Build a command-line calculator that performs basic arithmetic. Focus on syntax and basic I/O, then implement a history feature using dynamic memory allocation (new/delete).

2. Intermediate: Student Management System (OOP)

   Apply OOP principles like encapsulation and inheritance. Create a system to manage student and teacher records with different access levels.

3. Advanced: Inventory System using STL

   Use STL containers like std::vector or std::map to track store inventory. Practice using STL algorithms to sort and search through data efficiently.

4. Complex: Pathfinding Visualizer (Algorithms)

   Implement Dijkstra’s or the A* search algorithm to find the shortest path in a grid. Focus on performance optimization and high-speed execution.
