The C++ courses requires quite a lot of preliminary work. You have to do by yourself the following first sections of the lecture :

• Getting started
  • Installing a C++ compiler
  • Understanding command lines
  • Have a nice editor and a nice console.
• Introduction
  • First (but crucial) steps.
  • Compiling

The C++ lecture material can be found here.

Ask for help (by mail) to Hervé Frezza-Buet or Frédeéic Pennerath if you get stucked. Consider working as a group. You may need few afternoons of work to get ready.
