In software development, effective logging is crucial for debugging and monitoring applications. This guide demonstrates how to implement a custom logging system in C++, providing the ability to log events with specific types.

Overview of Custom Logging

The custom logging functionality allows developers to log messages to specific files based on the type of log they wish to maintain. The following outlines the necessary changes and code additions to achieve this feature.

Step-by-Step Implementation
