This module explores C++ exceptions, abstract classes, inheritance, and factory patterns through a humorous bureaucracy simulation with Bureaucrats, Forms, and Interns.
For each exercise, navigate to its folder, compile, and run:

cd ex00

./ex03ex00 — Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be a bureaucrat!: Implement a Bureaucrat class with constant name and grade (1–150). Add grade increment/decrement, exceptions, and a stream insertion (<<) overload.
ex01 — Form up, maggots!: Add a Form class requiring a grade to sign and execute. Bureaucrats can sign forms if their grade is high enough.
ex02 — No, you need form 28B, not 28C...: Create an abstract AForm base class and concrete forms: ShrubberyCreationForm, RobotomyRequestForm, and PresidentialPardonForm, each with unique behaviors and grade requirements. Implement form execution and error handling.
ex03 — At least this beats coffee-making: Implement an Intern class with a makeForm() factory function that creates forms by name. Avoid ugly if/else chains; use elegant design.
