University of Illinois CS_400: Object-Oriented Data Structures in C++
The University of Illinois (U-C) had a class on Coursera: "Object-Oriented Data Structures in C++"

Setting up macOS for C++
Install Apple XCode
$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
sudo xcode-select --reset
Getting BREW
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
the above will take quite a few minutes.
Once BREW is installed, install the following:
brew install ghostscript
brew link --overwrite freetype
brew install imagemagick
brew link --overwrite libtool
brew install graphvizbrew install cmake
brew edit valgrind
This will open your default code editor. In the opened file, change the URL in the head section from https://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
brew update brew install --HEAD valgrind
$ cd /Volumes/GoogleDrive/My\ Drive/_REPOS/coursera_wadefagen/cpp-std

How to make the compiled files execute in the command line?
If you get a similar error, you might have to change the mode to execute the file..
cpp-memory % chmod +x addressOf
cpp-memory % ./addressOf

My favorite quotations..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein
