Summary
The README lists "More hints" as the top item under Completion / could still be improved. Most chapters had no hints at all — only variables (full), functions1, templates5, and security had them.
This adds a hint for every exercise that lacked one: 30 new hint files across functions, if, pointers_references, classes, raii, containers, ownership, and templates. Every exercise in the repo now has a matching hint.
Style
Hints follow the existing repo convention: they nudge toward the concept (name the language feature / API, point at the specific broken line, cite the relevant CWE for resource/lifetime bugs) without giving the copy-paste solution. Modeled on the tone of the existing
security/*(CWE pointer) andtemplates5(skeletal signature) hints.Notes
.mdfiles).Happy to adjust tone/verbosity if you'd prefer hints that reveal more or less.
