# Entropy Calculator

This is a C++ project that calculates the entropy change of different elements in specified temparature difference.

## Project Structure

- `main.cpp`: The entry point of the application.
- `elements/`: This directory contains the definition of different elements.
- `headers/`: This directory contains the header files for the project.
- `bin/`: This directory contains the compiled binaries.
- `obj/`: This directory contains the object files generated during compilation.

## How to Build

1. Open the `entropy-calculator.cbp` file in Code::Blocks.
2. Click on the "Build" button or select "Build" from the "Build" menu.

## How to Run

After building the project, you can run the program by clicking on the "Run" button or selecting "Run" from the "Build" menu in Code::Blocks.

## Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.

### How to add a new element

1. Create a new file in the `elements/` directory with the name of the element (e.g. `water.h` for water element)
2. Define the element in the file. Declare a class with the name of the element which inherits from the `baseElement` class.
3. Write constructor and set the values of the properties of the element.
```cpp
// Example: water.h
#ifndef WATER_HPP_INCLUDED
#define WATER_HPP_INCLUDED
#include "../headers/baseElement.h"

class water : public baseElement
{
public:
    water()
    {
        setElementName("Water");
        setSpecificHeatLiquid(4184);
        setSpecificHeatSolid(2093);
        setSpecificHeatGas(2010);
        setLatentHeatOfFusion(334000);
        setLatentHeatOfVaporization(2260000);
        setMeltingPoint(273);
        setBoilingPoint(373);
    }
};
#endif // WATER_HPP_INCLUDED
```
4. Include the header file in the `allElements.cpp` file located in the `headers/` directory.
```cpp
// include new element's header file
#include "../elements/water.h"

// inside getElements() function, add the new element
// push the new element to the elements vector
elements.push_back(new water());
```
