ft_containers - C++ Containers, Easy Mode

Introduction

The ft_containers project aims to implement a few container types of the C++ standard template library. The goal is to re-implement standard C++ containers to ensure a solid understanding of their functionality and underlying structure. This project version is 5.2.

Features

The project involves implementing the following containers:

• vector: A dynamic array container similar to std::vector. The specialization for vector<bool> is not required.
• map: An associative container that stores key-value pairs in a sorted order, similar to std::map.
• stack: A container adapter that uses your implemented vector class as the default underlying container. It should be compatible with other containers, including the standard ones.

Additionally, you must also implement the following C++98 features:

• std::iterator_traits
• std::reverse_iterator
• std::enable_if
• std::is_integral
• std::equal and/or std::lexicographical_compare
• std::pair
• std::make_pair

Compiling

To compile the project, use the following guidelines:

• Compile your code with c++ and the flags -Wall -Wextra -Werror.
• The code should still compile with the flag -std=c++98.
• The project must include a Makefile that compiles the source files without relinking.
• The Makefile should contain at least the rules: $(NAME), all, clean, fclean, and re.

Usage

To use the implemented containers, follow these steps:

1. Clone the ft_containers project to your local machine.
2. Compile the project using the provided Makefile.
3. Run the test binaries for both your implemented containers and the standard library containers.
4. Compare the outputs and performance/timing, noting that your containers may be up to 20 times slower.

Note: For more details on the project requirements, refer to the original instructions provided in the project folder.

Happy coding!
