CPUs and GPUs have evolved year on year to feature a greater number of cores and transistors to give more computational power for today’s servers and computers. With the advent of multiple cores, it is common now for programs to make use of multiple simultaneous threads. In modern C++, multi-thread operations are amazingly evolved since C++11, still there are new improvements in the latest…
In C++, the for loops are one of the great features of C and C++ language that has many options to break, continue, or iterate in a loop. In modern C++, there is a range-based for loop that makes it simple to iterate through a variable type that has members (i.e.
C++ is a great programming language that has many useful libraries. One of the most useful libraries are packed in Boost C++ Libraries. which is a set of C++ libraries that contains 164 individual libraries (as of version 1.76) that significantly expand the C++ programming…
Modern C++ is amazing with many great features. In C++, STL Standard Template Library has many algorithms for some operations like searching, counting, and manipulation of ranges and their elements. In this post you can learn C++ feature called std::map that you can map pair elements with an appropriate C++ IDE and compiler. One of its powerful modifiers of std::map is insert(). In this post we…
C++ has really great features that come with its modern libraries. One of the most used and very useful things is std::vector. If you know arrays in C and C++, vectors are a modern and very flexible form of arrays in C++, maybe we can say they are like modern linked lists.
Arrays are one of the important variable types when we are programming C++ apps. An array is a group of similar elements, data types, that are stored in a memory location. Array elements are defined by the data type and the variable then its size in brackets. If you are…
The iterator library that is part of the C++ Standard Library provides the following helpers for writing generic code:
#include <iterator> // helpers are defined here
template<class Container>
void foo(Container& c)
{
// Generic way to obtain (constant) iterators
auto b = std::begin(c); // (1)
auto cb = std::cbegin(c); // (2)
auto e = std::end(c); //…
Since C++11 there are elegant way to access each element of a containers (or, more generally, sequences) – so called range-for-statement. The syntaxes are follow:
template<class Container>
void foo(Container& container)
{
for (auto element : container)…
Let’s slightly modify the example from The Move Iterator Adapter in C++ post:
#include <algorithm>
#include <list>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
/// @warning BUG! PLEASE, DON'T USE!
auto deep_copy_to_list(const…
The dereference prefix operator * being applied to iterator returns the lvalue reference to the element pointed by the iterator. Therefore, algorithms such as std::copy or std::transform calls copying constructors of processed elements, for example:
#include <algorithm>
#include <list>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
auto deep_copy_to_list(const…
