Another example homework assignment for figuring out how to use Github for classrooms with C++ files. This is definitely subject to change but for now seems to be a decent start.

Similar to example-python-homework, the object of this assignment is to produce a C++ function which squares an input value.

int square(int x)
{
    // return the square of x
}

A toy test suite is supplied to the students so they can check the validity of their code. The actual test suite is hidden from the students and will be run using their code once the homework is submitted. This is similar to how Project Euler sets up its exercises.

1. Edit the int square(int x) function in lib/square.cpp.

2. Check that your function compiles into a shared library correctly using the supplied Makefile.

    $ make lib
   

3. Test your code by compiling and running the toy test suite.

    $ make test
    $ ./runtests
   

4. If all tests pass then ...
