# C++ Examples
Short code examples to cover different C++ language features for studying
purposes. Examples are commented so someone can follow them and also origin
of the example if exists is also given. This is helpful when some seeks original
source of the information.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
You will need a C++ compiler with C++17 support, CMake version 3.8 or greater
for generating a build files and Boost C++ library. One example shows how to use Google
Test testing library to implement unit tests, thus that is also needed.
To install CMake you can either compile it yourself or install from APT
repository. To compiler it yourself follow [this](https://cmake.org/install/)
guide. To install from APT run following
```
sudo apt install cmake
```
If installing from APT repository make sure it's version is at least 3.8 or
greater. To check that run `cmake --version`.
Google Test is included as a Git submodule and you need
to initialize it after cloning because it is not automatically done for you. Do
this with following on root of the project
```
git submodule init
git submodule update
```
To install Boost library you can download it from
[here](https://www.boost.org/users/download/) or on Ubuntu run
```
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
```
### Compiling
First make a build directory to root of the project, then cd into it
```
mkdir build
cd build
```
Then use CMake to the generate your system's preferred build files
```
cmake ..
```
Then compile examples with
```
cmake --build .
```
## Running Examples
After successful compile executables will be available under build folder in the
same folder structure as examples in `src` folder. For instance running ellipsis
example with following from a build directory
```
./src/ellipsis/ellipsis
```
Study example's printing and source code what is happening. Source code is
usually commented extensively to inform what is happening and what is being
tested.
