C++ training pre-work

The project is configured to run on Windows, Linux and MacOS. It uses CMake >= 3.6

Software for remote sessions

I highly recommend to use Visual Studio Code with Live Share Extension Pack installed. It will allow us to have a remote Coding Dojo session and to have an audio chat during this session. Take a look on this extension in action. In case you do not have it or do not want it, you will just have to do group tasks on your own.

Software installation for Windows

• Download and install your favourite IDE - CLion, VS Code (free), QtCreator (free) or any other that can handle CMake builds
• Download MinGW compiler (g++, make, cmake, gdb) or
• Download and install Visual Studio Community Edition (IDE + MSVC compiler)

Software installation for Linux

For Linux please install:

• your favourite IDE - CLion (paid), VS Code (free), QtCreator (free), vim or any other that can handle CMake builds
• g++ >= 7 or clang++ >= 5
• valgrind
• cmake >= 3.6
• make
• gdb
• binutils

Possible problems on Windows

If you can build NumberGenerators target, but you cannot build NumberGenerators-ut target it probably means that MinGW does not properly support exceptions on your machine. Please reinstall MinGW and select another type of exception implementation in Exception field.

If MinGW is problematic on your machine, feel free to use MSVC compiler. In fact, compiler type does not really matter. Just make sure it supports C++17.

Also if CLion is problematic, you can use Visual Studio Community Edition.

You need to be able to compile both NumberGenerators and NumberGenerators-ut targets. We will be using similar build configurations in our training.

Online IDE

If you have any problems with setting up an environment you can use Repl.it. It is an online IDE that can handle multiple files projects and has a linux terminal available.

Assignment

1. Optional: Fork this repository to your own GitHub account (if you have one).
2. Compile the binary and unit tests. Steps for manual compilation in console with CMake:

> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake ..
> make

3. Run NumberGenerators target. Result: 42 should be displayed on the output.
4. Run NumberGenerators-ut target.
5. Fix mistakes in unit tests. In order to do that you need to implement sumNumbersFromGenerators() function to make all UTs pass. You can add more UTs if you wish.
6. Create a Pull Request to inform me about your successful implementation and environment setup. If you do not have and do not want to have a GitHub account just send me your solution (diff only) via email to lukasz@coders.school
