Don't let the multitude of C++ updates intimidate you! LearnC++ by Example takes you through the major language changessince C++ 11, with each new feature demonstrated with a fun projector minigame. It's perfect for beginners who know C++ basics, coderscoming back to the language, or current C++ developers missing outon everything the language has to offer.
Inside Learn C++ by Example you'll find importantskills such as:
* Utilizing the new C++ features from C++ 11 to 23
* Effectively testing your C++ code
* What happens "under the hood" of C++ code
* Picking efficient algorithms and data structures
* std::format, STL algorithms, ranges, and coroutines
Learn C++ by Example rapidly gets up to speed withC++'s updates and changes, and ensures you'll stay ahead as thelanguage continues to change and grow. You'll learn about vectorsand ranges by generating Pascal's triangle, create a racing gamewith new special member functions, build a slot machine withparameter packs, and more.
