Project Setup & Modern C++ Foundations

Configure a C++ project using CMake to manage the build process and external dependencies.

Replace manual memory management (malloc/free) with std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr for robust resource handling.

Implement resource management using the RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) idiom.

Differentiate between C pointers and C++ references in function parameter passing.

Utilize 'auto' type deduction and range-based for loops to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

Define generic functions and classes using basic C++ template syntax.
