Why are the makefiles generated automatically in the book's example?

To ensure compatibility with all C++ compilers
To avoid manual errors in writing makefiles
To facilitate easy updates to the source code
For educational purposes, to demonstrate makefiles

The correct answer is: To ensure compatibility with all C++ compilers

The makefiles are generated automatically in the book's example to ensure compatibility with all C++ compilers. This option is the most logical as the book aims to teach about makefiles and their importance in C++ programming. Options B, C, and D may have some relevance, but they are not the main purpose for the automatic generation of makefiles. Option B is incorrect because the main reason for automated makefiles is not to avoid manual errors, but rather to make the process easier and more efficient for the user. Option C is incorrect as the automatic generation of makefiles does not necessarily facilitate easy updates to the source code. Option D is incorrect because the book's example is not solely for educational purposes, but rather for practical use in programming.
