This repository contains my progress through the C++ modules from 42 School, implemented in C++98.
It showcases fundamental concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), memory management, and good coding practices following Clean Code principles.

• Build and Debug - Compilers, debugging and C++ standards
• Dependencies and Tools - Makefile, CMake and library management
• CppUnit Installation - Local installation without root permissions
• CppUnit Quickstart - First steps with unit testing
• Complete CppUnit Guide - Complete CppUnit documentation for C++98

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance and Polymorphism
• Dynamic memory management in C++98
• Function and operator overloading
• Abstract classes vs Interfaces
• Best practices with Makefile and compilation flags
• Standard I/O (iostream)
• Using new / delete
• Introduction to dynamic memory

• Namespaces and basic classes
• Member functions and methods
• Standard I/O (iostream)
• Basic classes (PhoneBook, Contact)
• Using new / delete

• Pointers and references
• Stack vs Heap
• Constructors and destructors
• Exercises with objects (Zombie, Weapon, Human)

• Operator overloading
• Copy, assignment and object lifetime
• Fixed-point number implementation
• Encapsulation best practices

• Base and derived classes
• Single and multiple inheritance
• virtual keyword and diamond problem
• Exercises with ClapTrap, ScavTrap, FragTrap, DiamondTrap

• Dynamic polymorphism
• virtual methods and override
• Abstract classes and interfaces
• Composition vs aggregation (Animal, Brain, Cat, Dog)
• Magical materials (AMateria, Cure, Ice, Character, MateriaSource)

• C++98 - Programming standard
• Makefile - Build system
• CMake - Build system generator
• CppUnit - Unit testing framework
• GDB - Debugger
• Valgrind - Memory analysis tool
• Git - Version control

• Continue with modules cpp05 – cpp09
• Add UML diagrams for each module
• Improve testing with assert and doctest
• Implement more design patterns
• Add performance benchmarks
