Small command line project to practice the implementation and application of the Linked List data structure in C++ language. Some programming techniques included:
-
Linked Lists: Implementation of a generic linked list data structure from scratch
-
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Applying OOP principles to create structured and modular code
-
Generic programming: using C++ templates, generic linked list implementation
-
Dynamic Memory Management: Learning about memory allocation and deallocation
-
Operator Overloading: Overloading operators for custom types
-
Data Persistence: Data persistence by reading and writing contact information to an external file, allowing you to store and retrieve contacts between sessions
- Replace external files with database
- Unit tests
The project has been developed in VSCode using the MSVC compiler.
It has also been tested with the MinGW compiler version 12.2.0
g++ -o contact_book src/main.cpp -Iinclude
The file tracking_memory.h, used to detect memory leaks, can be removed from the include headers if MSVC is not used.
