In general, in nearly all programming languages, including Modern C++, we use base-10 numbers, while our computer hardware uses the binary base-2 system (bits). I personally believe that base-10 is because we typically have 10 fingers and since we learn to counting on our fingers we use base-10 primarily. However, due to the way binary works it is sometimes convenient to use base-8 system octal…
C++ Builderis the easiest and fastest C++ IDE for building everything from simple to professional applications using visually amazing GUI controls and forms. Each form and component can be skinned with Styles which allow your application to have its own professionally…
In the last 40 years C++ has earned, and maintained, a reputation as one of the most efficient programming languages. C++ is still hugely popular, often in the top 3 of any lists of popular programming languages and is used widely across a wide array of operating systems.
C++11 brings a lot of improvements over C++98. In C++98, two consecutive right-angle brackets (>>) give an error, and these constructions are treated according to the C++11 standard which means CLANG compilers no longer generate an error about right angle brackets. In this post, we explain this and how to solve the right-angle bracket problem in C++.

C++11 brings a lot of improvements and I think one of the most important features were the Unicode Character Types and Literals that allow more support for strings in different languages globally. C++11 introduced a new character type to manipulate Unicode character…
C++ is a very decent programming language that has a very strong compiler supported by a big community on a range of different platforms. The C++ language definitions, syntax, and functionality are organized into different standards. Those standards are usually named after…
Modern C++ is really amazing with a lot of great features of programming. One of the features of Modern C++ is a Defaulted Function or in another term Defaulted Method of classes that is a function that contains =default; in its prototype. Defaulted functions are a feature of C++11 and above. In this post, we explain what is a defaulted function or method in modern C++.
What is defaulted…
C++ is a well-established programming language that is supported by a big community for many different computing hardware platforms. The language has a set of standards generally named after the approximate year the standard was adopted, such as C++98, C++11, C++14, C++17…
In C++ programming, there are macros for the fixed-width integer type that allow you to obtain minimum and maximum possible values. In this post, we explain these macros for integer constants in modern C++.
What are the macros for minimum signed integer constants in…
In C++ development, integer variables can be decimal (base 10), octal (base 8) or hexadecimal (base 16). In addition to int, short int, long int, and long long int, there are fixed width integer types. Fixed-width integers are defined types with a fixed number of bits. In this post we will list them.
What are fixed width integer types in modern C++?
In addition to standard types in C++…
