can submit50 or check50 take in .cpp (c++) files too?

Hi!

i recently was taught C++, and I found the concept of encapsulation (of data & functions) in OO (object oriented paradigm) very handy. So:

• Do cs50 accept submissions in cpp?
• Even if the cpp program are not accepted in submit50 submissions
• ... then too i would still love to be able to check50 if my program in c++ yields correct results for the given problems

I am asking specifically for C++ as:

• for checking: only compilation commands, run commands, and output is required i think
• and since C++ shares a lot with C in the compile environment,
• so, commands for compiling C++ should apply on C too - thus providing an opportunity to unify the check50 for both languages at once.

yes... the operator overloading (for assignment, sum, & division) in cpp would have helped a lot in the pset of filter (week 4).

handling those 3 members again and again is ... umh, quite a part of fun lol.

Edit: well, if an operation is used that often, then it might as well be defined in a separate function. Sure, passing structs, accessing members would require some more syntax, and ensuring data integrity will require more care - but it is achievable in C too.

As for being able to check it in c++ too - it's not my main focus at the moment. So, closing the issue as not planned for now. maybe will look into it in some distant future.
