CPP05 continues the exploration of advanced C++ concepts by diving into exception handling, the use of abstract classes, and interface design. The exercises are structured to enhance your understanding and application of these concepts in compliance with the C++98 standard.
This module consists of a series of exercises, each focusing on different aspects of exception handling and polymorphism:
- Directory:
ex00/ - Files to submit:
Makefilemain.cpp- Various class implementations (
*.cpp,*.h,*.hpp)
Introduces basic exception handling by implementing the Bureaucrat class, where methods throw exceptions for invalid operations (e.g., grades out of range).
- Directory:
ex01/ - Files to submit:
- All files from Exercise 00 plus
- Additional class implementations (
*.cpp,*.h,*.hpp)
Expands upon the Bureaucrat class by introducing a Form class, which must be signed by bureaucrats. Demonstrates exception handling and validation within class interactions.
- Directory:
ex02/ - Files to submit:
- All files from Exercise 01 plus
- Modifications to use abstract classes (
*.cpp,*.h,*.hpp)
Transforms the Form class into an abstract base class and introduces several derived classes representing specific types of forms (e.g., ShrubberyCreationForm, RobotomyRequestForm, PresidentialPardonForm).
- Directory:
ex03/ - Files to submit:
Makefilemain.cpp- Comprehensive implementations (
*.cpp,*.h,*.hpp)
Implements an Intern class responsible for creating form objects dynamically. This exercise showcases the factory design pattern and reinforces the use of interfaces and polymorphism.
Navigate to the specific exercise directory and use the make command to compile the projects. Each executable can be run directly to demonstrate the functionalities implemented.
