Description

This project, C++ Module 01, focuses on dynamic memory allocation, pointers, and object relationships. You will implement a Zombie class, create a horde of zombies, manage strings, and develop a complaint system using function pointers and switch statements. These exercises provide a solid foundation in C++ programming concepts and practices.

Exercise 00 - BraiiiiiiinnnzzzZ

Objectives 🚀:

• This exercise will introduce you to dynamic memory allocation and pointer manipulation in C++.
• You will be creating a class that represents a zombie. Requirement:
• Create a Zombie class. Each zombie will have a name.
• Implement a member function named announce() that will print the following message: <name>: BraiiiiiiinnnzzzZ....
• The name of the zombie should be passed to the constructor.
• Create a function named newZombie() which takes a string representing a name and returns a pointer to a new zombie.
• Create a function named randomChump() that creates a zombie, assigns it a random name, and immediately announces it.
• Your main function should create several zombies (both on the stack and on the heap) and have them announce themselves.

Exercise 01 - Even More Brains!

Objectives 🚀:

• This exercise builds on the previous one by exploring the behavior of destructors.
• You will create and destroy zombies dynamically. Requirements:
• Add a destructor to your Zombie class that prints the message: <name> is destroyed.
• In your main function, dynamically allocate several zombies, have them announce themselves, and then properly destroy them to ensure there are no memory leaks.

Exercise 03 - Useless Violence

Objectives 🚀:

• This exercise introduces the Weapon class and explores how objects can be passed around by reference. Requirements:
• Create a Weapon class that has a type attribute and a getType() method that returns the type.
• Create a setType() method that modifies the weapon type.
• Create a HumanA class that takes a reference to a Weapon in its constructor and has an attack() method that prints a message containing the human's name and the weapon type.
• Create a HumanB class that is similar to HumanA but allows the weapon to be set later on using a method.

Exercise 04 - Sed Is for Losers

Objectives 🚀:

• This exercise introduces basic file input/output (I/O) and string manipulation in C++. Requirements:
• Write a program that takes a filename and two strings as parameters.
• The program should open the file, replace all occurrences of the first string with the second string, and write the results to a new file.

Exercise 05 - Harl 2.0

Objectives 🚀:

• This exercise explores the switch statement and organizing code with different levels of verbosity. Requirements:
• Create a Harl class with four member functions: debug(), info(), warning(), and error().
• Implement a complain() function that calls one of the four methods based on the input string passed to it.
• Use a switch statement to choose which method to call.

Exercise 06 - Harl Filter

Objectives 🚀:

• This exercise builds on the previous one by introducing filters. Requirements:
• Modify the Harl class to print only messages at or above a certain severity level. The severity levels are debug, info, warning, and error.
• Implement this filtering logic so that Harl only complains at the specified level or higher.
