This repository contains starter code for the first COP3530 project at the University of Florida. We have made this resource available to make it easier to use Catch2 to test your project's code. This repository has been designed to work in VS Code. Download this repository to get started!

Be sure to check out the testing resources at the bottom on how to use Catch2, VSCode, and TestMate.

Edit src/avl.cpp to implement your self-balancing AVL tree, edit test/test.cpp to add to or modify the Catch2 tests, and use the Makefile (or the standard g++ command line interface, or a VSCode build task) to compile and run the tests.

You may need to edit .vscode/settings.json to get the TestMate Test Explorer to pick up your test executable. Your program's executable (i.e. a.out, AvlTests, a.exe, etc.) name should match exactly what it shows in settings.json. We have provided several possible options if you look at settings.json, you can add a new one to the list. The settings.json file is used to link with Testmate.

To use the Makefile type make into the terminal. Be sure to look at the Makefile to understand what it is doing. Make sure you are in the same directory as the Makefile when you run make. You can check by typing ls into the terminal.

What the Makefile does:

• All it does is compile then run test/test.cpp which runs tests on src/avl.cpp with Catch2.
• It checks which operating system the computer uses (MacOS/Linux/Windows), omits the flag "-std=c++11" if the system is Windows and otherwise adds it. Having or not having the flag can make the respective systems angry, so we accounted for that.
