AWESOME PROJECTS

CORRECTION: In #3, lambdas. The function should call. std::count_if. As std::count takes a value as the third parameter, not a predicate.

[DanielsThierry]

Thank you for your hard work on giving us, laymen, an opportunity to learn C++
Your videos are an excellent companion to any course on c++.

[emiliancioca]

Awesome recap :) The groundwork paved by move semantics really can't be understated.

As far as auto goes, it's hard to argue against using it for iterator functions (begin/end) and casts where the type already appears on the same line. Of course every project will be different.

Just integrated your chai script engine in my 2 qt applications, wow great job men, I couldn't be more happier

[slavamelanko]

Like such overview over standards. Thank you!

[marksilverman]

Five times thirteen is fifteen? Is that one of those floating point errors?

[GregoryTheGrster]

Excellent summary of the important additions to '11, dude!

[LaszloAshin]

But Jason, where is move semantics?! 🤔

[shameelgoldentrio]

What does the narrator mean by "slicing" at 5:08?

[ultimatesoup]

I think you should almost ALWAYS use auto where it's applicable. It's impossible to change types in code otherwise

Memetic Title: Important Parts of C++11 in a Nutshell

[DamianReloaded]

Those features effectively transformed c++ into ++c.

[Minty_Meeo]

I feel like move semantics deserves more than a passing mention when reviewing C++11.

[cmdlp]

These are the most important features of C++, which make C++ distinct from all other programming languages. C++11 was the most significant update of the language. C++14 and C++17 are just the final completion of C++11. I guess the only notable things are structured bindings and initializations in if/switch statements in C++17.

But C++20 is likely to be as a big improvement as C++11: concepts, designated initializers(~named parameters in initializers, is already a thing in C), spaceship operator <=>, string literals as template parameters(definitely useful), ranges, consteval, coroutines and modules. I wonder how much is going to be in the final C++20. I also wondered about constexpr virtual functions, it does not make sense for me. But why not template virtual functions, I think they are only implementable with runtime compilation/JIT compiler.

Please use dark theme in your editor, my eyes are burning especially in late nights. Any how thank you for your videos.

Why do u call new instead of make_unique?

[curtispenner]

The microphone is not good. Sounds like you are talking through a comb (yes a comb).

[chrischoir]

auto is dangerous IMO, it makes C++ more like python or some girly-man language
