    <p>This project highlights the intersection of cybersecurity and software development, showcasing foundational programming skills in C++ that are critical for secure coding and system-level security tools.</p>
</div>

        <h2>Key Features</h2>
        <ul>
            <li>Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)</li>
            <li>Dynamic memory management</li>
            <li>Functions and pointers</li>
            <li>Secure software development principles</li>
        </ul>

        <h2>Relevance to Cybersecurity</h2>
<p>This project builds a strong foundation in C++ programming by emphasizing secure coding practices such as effective memory management, pointer usage, and object-oriented design. These skills are directly applicable to cybersecurity tasks like developing secure applications, understanding vulnerabilities in legacy systems, and analyzing low-level system behavior.</p>

<h2>Code Highlights: main.cpp</h2>
<p>The accompanying <a href='https://github.com/LuCamachoJr/cpp-objects-and-pointers/blob/master/main.cpp' target='_blank'>main.cpp</a> file demonstrates key programming principles, including:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):</strong> Showcasing the use of classes, objects, and encapsulation to ensure secure and modular code.</li>
    <li><strong>Dynamic Memory Management:</strong> Highlighting pointers and memory allocation techniques to avoid memory leaks and vulnerabilities like buffer overflows.</li>
    <li><strong>Secure Coding Practices:</strong> Implementing structured logic and error handling to build reliable and robust applications.</li>
</ul>
<p>By applying these principles, the code ensures both performance and security, making it a valuable example for aspiring software developers and cybersecurity professionals.</p>
        <ul>
            <li>Buffer overflow prevention</li>
            <li>Memory safety in system-level programming</li>
            <li>Secure coding techniques for large-scale applications</li>
        </ul>
