Thank you for the feedback. Some of the programs here are coded 4 years ago, when I had just started learning C++ and I never revisited them. At that time, I was in university, and this repo was to attract recruiters for internship. I got the job later, and kind of ignored to correct problems. I am sure if these are ran with strict compiler flags there would be many more issues. I will get around and fix it sometime soon.

Sure thing, reading through the repo I understood it was used to learn stuff. But it may not be immediately understood by a novice. And thing with the Internet is: people will start using code from your repo and get into all sorts of issues. It's unlikely you'll smooth this code up. Nobody's got the time, let's be honest here. ;) So I'd recommend that you at least state explicitly that these functions shouldn't be lifted directly unless someone knows what he/she is doing.

Thanks again for the response, I understand it might be better to put a warning note at the top of readme. Thank you again for the advice.
