+# Exam Practise
+This is my exam practise for the upcoming C++ examination that falls on the 16th March.
+
+The files here will be split up from `*.cpp` source files, `*.md` documentation files and a Makefile.
+
+This is just how I have files and the Makefile because I'm a lazy shit.
+
+## Notice
+When attempting to use the Makefile, I have configured it so that you must use arguments to use it.
+Below is an example of compiling it:
+
+```bash
+make build file="macros.cpp" # assuming you want to compile this file
+```
+For me, it just saves time.
+
+
+## Double notice
+I hate C++ with a burning passion. It's not for me, but it's a skill I will now hold for the rest of the time I exist. ~~Defo not ever using GPT for this shit.~~
