Practice the ROS2 C++ - Smart Pointers Node coding problem in C++ for ROS2. Browser-based execution with automated grading — no local ROS install required. 68% of engineers pass this challenge.

Problem Statement

Create a minimal C++ ROS2 node using modern C++ features like smart pointers (std::shared_ptr).

Requirements

  • Language: C++
  • Create a class inheriting from rclcpp::Node
  • Node name: cpp_smart_node
  • Use RCLCPP_INFO to log "C++ Node Started" in the constructor
  • Ensure standard main function with rclcpp::init, rclcpp::spin, rclcpp::shutdown

Input/Output Format

Output:

  • Console Log: "C++ Node Started"

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

  • Compilation errors due to missing semicolons or headers.
  • Forgetting public inheritance: class MyNode : public rclcpp::Node
