CPPinator

CPPinator is a Python automation script designed for compiling and running multiple C++ files in a specified directory. It simplifies the process of handling multiple C++ programs and provides a clear and organized output for each program's execution along with the execution time for each program.

How it works

1. The script allows you to specify a directory path where your C++ source code files are located.

2. It changes the current working directory to the specified path.

3. CPPinator lists all the C++ source code files with the .cpp extension in the directory.

4. For each .cpp file found, it compiles the code using g++ and runs the resulting executable.

5. The script captures and displays the output and any errors produced by each program.

6. Upon successful execution of all C++ files, it provides a summary message.

7. Finally, the compiled executable file (a.exe) is deleted to keep your directory clean.

Usage

1. Ensure you have Python and a C++ compiler (e.g., g++) installed on your system.

2. Install the CPPinator package from PyPI using pip:

   pip install CPPinator
   

   OR

   Clone or download the CPPinator.py script to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/Hardvan/CPPinator
   cd CPPinator
   pip install .
   

3. Call the compile_and_run_cpp_files function from the CPPinator package with the directory path as an argument.

   from CPPinator import compile_and_run_cpp_files
   
   compile_and_run_cpp_files("path/to/your/directory")
   

   View the run.py file for an example of how to use the CPPinator package.

Example Output

Here's an example of the script's output when run with a list of C++ files in the Basic Problems directory.
