C++ basics

C++ fundamentals through coding exercises.

Contents of this repository are based on C++ programming course material provided by Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.

NOTE: Assignments and their descriptions are in Finnish for meanwhile. I have a plan to translate them to English.

NOTE: In real world, class declarations should always be done in header files. These assignments are quite simple and used single cpp files including all code required for programs.
