Lesson26and27

If you’re looking to sharpen up your C++ programming skills, then you’re in the right place. You will start with learning about dynamic memory allocation, how to create classes, and constructors. 

In the latter half of the course, inheritance, functions, I/O, exception handling, and more. Throughout the course, you will study over 90 carefully designed examples aimed to enhance your understanding of the C++ language.  

By the time you finish this course, you will be able to use more advanced functionality in your C++ programs.

C++ Programming for Experienced Engineers

# Problem

Rewrite program in “[Number Class with Methods defined Inside it](https://www.educative.io/courses/cpp-programming-experienced-devs/number-class-with-methods-defined-inside-it)” so that the `Number` class is stored in a dynamically linked library. 

# Solution
Here is a solution to the above problem. You have to press the “**Run**” button to get the terminal window under the code widget. After that, you will be able to create a dynamic library using the given commands.

**Create dynamic library using command-line**

If you wish to build the project using the *command-line*, carry out the following steps:

1. Compile the library to position independent code.
    ```txt
    g++ -c Number.cpp -fpic
    ```
 
2. Create the dynamic library (shared object file). 
    ```txt
    g++ Number.o -shared -o libNumber.so 
    ```

3. Let's compile the driver code. 
    ```txt
    g++ main.cpp -o main.out -lNumber -L.
    ```

4. At this stage, if you run the program with `./main.out`, it wouldn’t be able to locate the library. The linker searches for dynamic libraries in an environment variable `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. We need to add the path for the directory where the `.so` file is placed in this variable. 
    ```txt
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/educative:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    ```

4. Run the program.
    ```
    ./main.out
    ```
