Lambda expressions in modern C++ (in depth step by step tutorial)

A lambda is an unnamed function that is used for short snippets of code that cannot be reused and are not worth naming.
It makes the code cleaner, easier to read, and lambdas are also fast to execute.
Lambdas are available in C++ version 11 and above.
In this step by step in depth tutorial I'll teach you the most important things about lambda expressions, and also share some tips and tricks, and if you want to practice and see more examples of lambda expressions in modern C++, download free E-Book below.

I have asked for this topic like 7 months back and now got it. Thank you.

The beauty about your videos is, I always watch them to learn something I initially intended to but, I always end up learning some extra things. Thanks for that. You're awesome

[SAURABHJAIN]

You are the best C++ Lecturer in YouTube. You explain the topic with the example, including all other special features of C++. Like in this "lambda function" example, you also included 'Standard Template Library' vector and algorithm. That really connects with the real coding problems and uses of all other important features of C++.

Thank you for teaching us, all these things :)
Thanks a lot :)

Perfect timing! We are covering Delegates and Lambdas this week in my C# course.

15:51 You can change the value (only in lambda function) by typing "mutable" between the circle and curly brackets.
This way you don't have to change the variable in bigger scope by passing with reference.
