Project Name: Overloaded-Classes-by_Tanner_Davison

Description

Overloeaded-Classes is a C++ project that demonstrates object-oriented programming concepts such as dynamic memory management, copy constructors, assignment operators, and the creation of custom data structures like an ArrayList. The ArrayList class manages a dynamically allocated array of characters, providing basic operations such as printing the list and copying data between instances.

Features

• Dynamic Memory Management: The ArrayList class dynamically allocates memory for an array of characters and ensures proper memory management with destructors.
• Copy Constructor: Safely creates a copy of an ArrayList object, duplicating the contents of the original list.
• Copy Assignment Operator: Handles assigning one ArrayList object to another, ensuring deep copying of the array contents.
• List Printing: A method to print the contents of the list to the console.

Example Usage

1. Create an ArrayList Instance:

   ArrayList myList(10); // Create an ArrayList with a length of 10

2. Print the List:

   myList.printList(); // Outputs the current contents of the list (initially empty/zeroed)

3. Copy the ArrayList Using the Copy Constructor:

   ArrayList copiedList(myList); // Create a new ArrayList as a copy of myList
   copiedList.printList(); // Outputs the copied list contents

4. Assign One ArrayList to Another:

   ArrayList anotherList(5); // Create another ArrayList with a length of 5
   anotherList = myList; // Assign the contents of myList to anotherList
   anotherList.printList(); // Outputs the updated contents of anotherList

Compilation and Execution

To compile and run this project, use a C++ compiler such as g++:

g++ -o entity_arraylist entity_arraylist.cpp
./main
