Data Structures and Algorithms

C++-latest data structures and algorithms using only standard libraries. This answers many of the challenges in HackerRank, LeetCode and some in Codility. > 1000 Google Test cases and counting.

Dependencies

Permuted Congruential Generator-64 (PCG64)

• Download the header files from https://github.com/brt-v/pcg-cpp
• Put all the .hpp into src/ folder

Windows

• Use Visual Studio 2022, latest Windows SDK and ISO C++26 Standard.
• Download googletest from https://github.com/google/googletest/releases and extract to C:\Projects\C++\googletest
• Intel oneAPI toolkits: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/onetbb/get-started-guide/2022-2/overview.html
• Run C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat

Google Test

Build the latest GTest and GMock libraries from source

1. Download GoogleTest source code from https://github.com/google/googletest/releases
2. Open the project folder using VS and generate CMake cache, click “Build All” and it will generate lib files.
3. Create a Google Test project, manage nuget packages and uninstall the package Microsoft.googletest.v140.windesktop.msvcstl.static.rt-dyn
4. Set the property page

C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories: adds the googletest/include and googlemock/include paths. Linker > General > Additional Library Directories: point to the path of the compiled .lib file (e.g. googletest-1.17.0\out\build\x64-debug\lib). Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies: adds gtest.lib and gtest_main.lib. C/C++ > Code Generation > Run Library: match the compilation configuration of the Googletest libraries (e.g. MTd for Debug mode) (5) Then the Google Test project can be built successfully.

Use vcpkg

• Use vcpkg to download (Note: Currently in vcpkg, gtest version is 1.14.0)

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg.exe install gtest:x64-windows
Use ‘vcpkg list’ to view installed Google Test versions
Create a Google Test project, manage nuget packages and uninstall the package Microsoft.googletest.v140.windesktop.msvcstl.static.rt-dyn and then build it.
