Modern C++is very powerful with many great features to help you write programs more easily with safer template class objects that have faster algorithms and methods. In C++, Containersare the powerful data storage arrays in modern C++ and they are very useful for iterating and searching data with their amazing methods, algorithms, and properties. A container is a holder object that…
Containersare powerful data storage arrays in modern C++ and they are very useful to iterate and search data with their amazing methods and properties. A container is a holder object that stores data elements (a collection of data objects). std::vector, std::array…
What Are The Differences Between std::rand() And std::mt19937 In Modern C++?
February 2, 2024
Random numbers are widely used in today’s modern applications. In C we use rand(), srand() and in C++ it is std::rand(), std::srand(). Since C++11, we can use the Mersenne Twister random generators; mt19937 (std::mt19937) for 32-bit applications and mt19937_64…
Random numbers are one of the most important parts of today’s modern programming technologies. They are used in mathematics, physics, in many engineering fields, and in programming such as generating random data for testing, random maps in levels, random trees on a planet – the list is endless. Since C++11, mt19937 (std::mt19937) is implemented as a random number generator. In this…
In C++ 17, there is a very useful alias template for metaprogramming that can be used to simplify use of SFINAE. The void_tis a meta-function that is used to map any types ( or types) to typevoid. In this post, we explain what is void_t, how you can use it in…
There is a new library feature in the C++17 standard, it is std::invoke which is a useful feature to uniformly invoke callable entities. In this post, we explain what std::invoke is and how we can use it in examples. First, let’s remind ourselves about what is a…
Solving C++ optimization problems are one of the areas of all quantitative disciplines from social science, economics to engineering fields such as computer science. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a kind of machine learning process that is used to generate high-quality solutions to optimization and search problems by relying on biologically inspired operators such as mutation, crossover, and…
In addition to many beneficial features of C++ 17, there are elementary string conversions introduced in that specification. The std::to_chars() and std::from_chars() are defined in <charconv> header to do conversions between numeric values to strings or strings to…
The C++ 17 standard bring us a lot of useful methods, templates and algorithms. One of the great algorithms is std::sample defined in the <algorithm> header that samples at most n elements uniformly from a given range. In this post, we explain the std::sample algorithm…
In C++ Builder 12, and modern C++ the std::variant is one of the powerful features that comes with C++17. The std::variant is a discriminated union that we can work with multiple data types. It represents a type-safe union and holds one of its types in definition.
What is the class template std::variant in C++ 17?
The std::variant is a class template defined in <variant> header that…
