Overview

All of the solution and general utility code has been compiled without syntax errors or warnings  under Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro for Windows (version 6.0). As time and access allows, the solution and utility code is also compiled under the latest versions of Microsoft Visual C++, GCC, and any other available compilers. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated, particularly if buggy or non-standard C++ code is found. Extensive effort has been put into making all of the solution code ISO / ANSI C++ standard compliant.

There are links to the common grading / assignment information, C++ resources, compiler tips, and design patterns examples within the syllabi pages and lecture notes, as well as links to each of those areas over in the left portion of this page (yellow cell).

Shared Files and Utilities

Soundex source files needed for assignments and two dictionary files that can be used in assignment testing:

• bigpal.txt - Large palindrome, for testing (provided by Rick Sood, original attribution to Peter van der Linden from "Expert C Programming - Deep C Secrets").
• dict1.zip - Zip file (81KB, expands to 230KB, 25K+ words) of dictionary words (each separated by new-line).
• dict2.zip - Bigger zip file (502KB, expands to 1.7MB, 174K+ words) of dictionary words (each separated by space or new-line).
• money.h - Header file for Money class (illustration only, not to be used in real applications).
• soundex.c - Implementation file for soundex function (provides 'soundex code' phonetic processing).
• soundex.h - Header file for soundex function as described above.
