C++ Core Concepts & Applied Programming

This repository serves as a showcase of my intermediate-to-advanced C++ development skills. The codebase demonstrates a strong understanding of fundamental programming paradigms, manual memory management, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and modern C++ features.

🛠️ Tech Stack & Key Competencies

• Language: C++
• Standard Library: STL (Containers, Algorithms, Iterators)
• Build Tools: GNU Make
• Data Visualization: Gnuplot (gnuplot_i)
• Core Skills: OOP, Generic Programming (Templates), Memory Management, File I/O, Error Handling

🚀 Key Areas Demonstrated in the Codebase

1. Memory Management & Core Syntax

• Deep understanding of pointers, references, and data types.
• Dynamic memory allocation and safe resource management.
• Efficient manipulation of arrays, C-strings, and std::string.
• Control flow, conditional statements, and utilizing the cmath library.

2. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Designing robust classes with proper access modifiers (encapsulation).
• Implementing constructors, destructors, and operator overloading.
• Utilizing inheritance hierarchies and achieving runtime polymorphism.
• Structuring multi-file projects with proper header file definitions.

3. Generic Programming & Modern C++

• Implementing function and class templates to write DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) code.
• Utilizing lambda expressions and the static keyword.
• Working with complex data structures like std::pair, std::tuple, and std::valarray.

4. Standard Template Library (STL)

• Practical application of STL containers (e.g., maps, vectors).
• Iterating through data structures and applying STL algorithms for efficient processing.

5. Data Processing & Architecture

• I/O Streams: Reading and writing data using file streams and string streams.
• Exception Handling: Building resilient applications by catching and managing edge cases with std::except and custom exceptions.
• Build Automation: Writing Makefiles to automate the compilation of multi-file projects.
• Visualization: Integrating gnuplot_i for data plotting directly from C++ code.
