Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ Learning Projects

This repository contains a collection of C++ projects created for learning purposes. Each project is designed to demonstrate a specific OOP/C++ concept.

Project Structure

Each project is contained in its own directory. The directory name indicates the topic covered by the project. For example, the 1-intro-to-modules directory contains a project that demonstrates the use of modules in C++.

How to Build and Run the Projects

Each project is a Visual Studio solution. To build and run a project, open the .sln file in the project's directory with Visual Studio and then build and run it from there.
