This is a wxWidgets based Chatbot that provides information related to C++ memory management topics. The ChatBot creates a dialogue where users can ask questions about some aspects of memory management in C++. After the knowledge base of the chatbot has been loaded from a text file, a knowledge graph representation is created in computer memory, where chatbot answers represent the graph nodes and user queries represent the graph edges. After a user query has been sent to the chatbot, the Levenshtein distance is used to identify the most probable answer.
The project was built for the Udacity C++ Nano Degree program third course as an application of modern C++ memory management techniques, such as:
- Resource Acquisition Is Initialization pattern
- Move semantics
- Smart pointers ...
- Cmake and GCC:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install cmake
- wxWidgets >= 3.0 Library
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5

To compile the project, first, create a build directory and change to that directory:
mkdir build && cd build
From within the build directory, run cmake and make as follows:
cmake ..
make
The executable will be placed in the build directory. From within build, you can run the project as follows:
./membot
