C++ Programming - Learning Journey

Welcome to my C++ Programming repository! This repo contains the code I wrote while learning C++ for the first time. It serves as a personal reference and may help others who are just starting out as well.

📚 Topics Covered

Basic Syntax: Variables, Data Types, Operators, and Control Flow (if, for, while)
Functions: Declaration, Definition, and Recursion
Pointers & References: Memory addresses and pointer arithmetic
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation
File Input/Output (I/O): Reading from and writing to files using fstream
Standard Template Library (STL): Vectors, Maps, Sets, Pairs, and Algorithms
Basic Algorithms: Searching, Sorting, etc.

🧑‍💻 Usage

To run any of the C++ programs in this repo:

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/schak04/cpp-learning-journey.git

Navigate into the project folder:
```
cd cpp-learning-journey
```
Compile and run a program (example for hello.cpp):
```
g++ hello.cpp -o hello
./hello
```

📝 Files

Each .cpp file is named based on the concept it demonstrates.

🔄 Ongoing Progress

This repository is a work in progress. I will continue to add more code and examples as I explore new C++ concepts, projects, and challenges. Stay tuned for more updates!
