C++ Exercises – Nell Dale & Chip Weems (3rd Edition)

This repository contains my solutions to the warm-up exercises (E) and programming problems (P) from
Programming in C++ (3rd Edition) by Nell Dale and Chip Weems.

I started this project to strengthen my knowledge of C++, a versatile and high-performance language widely used in systems programming, competitive coding, and large-scale applications.

📂 Repository Structure

The repository is organized into two main directories:

├── E/ # Warm-up Exercises
│ ├── 1/ # Chapter 1 exercises
│ │ ├── E1.1.cpp # Solution source file
│ │ ├── E1.1 # Executable
│ │ └── data.txt # (optional) Input/output file
│ ├── 2/
│ └── ...
│
├── P/ # Programming Problems
│ ├── 1/ # Chapter 1 problems
│ ├── 2/
│ └── ...
│
└── README.md

• E/ → Warm-up exercises (organized by chapter)
• P/ → Programming problems (organized by chapter)
• Each numbered folder corresponds to a chapter.
• Some problems include .txt files for input/output.
• Executables (a.out, ex1, etc.) are created locally after compiling and may or may not be committed.

⚙️ Compilation & Execution

There is no global Makefile. Each solution can be compiled individually using your C++ compiler.

Example for an exercise:

cd E/1
g++ ex1.cpp -o ex1
./ex1

Example for a problem:

cd P/2
g++ problem2.cpp -o problem2
./problem2

🛠️ Requirements

Before running the programs, make sure you have:

• A C++17 or later compatible compiler (g++ or clang++) installed
• A terminal or command prompt to compile and run the code

📘 Notes

• All solutions are written by me while practicing from the textbook.
• Some problems include .txt files which are used for reading input or writing output.
• This repository is intended as a learning resource. It does not contain official solutions.

🚀 Future Plans

• Add solutions for more chapters
• Refactor code for better readability and consistency
• Explore adding test cases for selected problems
