README

This repository contains a C++ program that demonstrates the use of structures, dynamic memory allocation, and pointers to manage information about Avengers characters. Users can read, process, and display various statistics, calculate averages, and identify the strongest Avenger based on different criteria.

Project Overview

The program allows:

• Reading and storing Avengers’ attributes
• Calculating maximum and average statistics
• Printing character details
• Identifying the strongest Avenger
• Working with a 2D matrix of integers for additional functionality

---

Key Features

1. Dynamic Memory Allocation

• Allocates memory for an array of Avengers structures dynamically to efficiently store user-defined numbers of characters.

2. Struct Usage

• Defines properties of Avengers including: name, intelligence, leadership, outfit, powers, and damage.

3. Program Functionality

• Read and store Avengers’ attributes
• Compute maximum and average statistics
• Print details of Avengers
• Identify the strongest Avenger
• Work with a 2D matrix of random integers

4. Memory Management

• Functions to check and free dynamically allocated memory, ensuring no memory leaks.
