These are my notes and exercises following the comprehensive C++ tutorial at learncpp.com.
This project is intended for use with the GCC C++ compiler (g++) and the Make build automation tool, although any compiler that supports the C++17 standard can be used instead.
A brief guide to using Visual Studio Code for C++ development can be found in the C++ article of its documentation.

A makefile is provided with the source of each exercise.
Therefore, each exercise can be compiled by running make in its source directory.
For example, the number guessing game can be compiled from its source and run as follows.
cd chapter_L/section_x/q_2
make
./mainFor many of the exercises, the compiled binary output is named main.
The makefile instructions for the first-time compilation of this example are equivalent to the following.
g++ -c -std=c++17 main.cpp -o main.o
g++ -c -std=c++17 game.cpp -o game.o
g++ -c -std=c++17 input.cpp -o input.o
g++ -c -std=c++17 random.cpp -o random.o
g++ -std=c++17 main.o game.o input.o random.o -o mainIf no changes are to be made to the source of this example, it is sufficient to compile and link the source files without intermediate generation of the object files.
g++ -std=c++17 main.cpp game.cpp input.cpp random.cpp -o mainThe files generated during compilation can be removed by executing the clean rule of the makefile.
