Convert a phrase to its acronym.
Techies love their TLA (Three Letter Acronyms)!
Help generate some jargon by writing a program that converts a long name like Portable Network Graphics to its acronym (PNG).
Make sure you have read the Installing and Running the Tests pages for C++ on exercism.io. This covers the basic information on setting up the development environment expected by the exercises.
Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the three rules of test-driven development.
Generate makefiles from the CMake recipe and compile the application using make
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"
make
Create just enough structure by declaring namespaces, functions, classes, etc., to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail. Then write just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've done that, uncomment the next test by moving the following line past the next test.
#if defined(EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS)This may result in compile errors as new constructs may be invoked that you haven't yet declared or defined. Again, fix the compile errors minimally to get a failing test, then change the code minimally to pass the test, refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then go on to the next test.
Try to use standard C++11 facilities in preference to writing your own low-level algorithms or facilities by hand. CppReference is a wiki reference to the C++ language and standard library.
