December 2, 2020
The main function that supports data abstraction in C++ are classes. In essence, a C++ class is a C framework with additional features. This video discusses the practical way of using classes to get a better sense of different programming tasks, as many programmers often…
In programming, one of the most used variables is text strings, and they are sometimes really important when storing and retrieving valuable data. It is important to store your data safely in its language and localization. Most programming languages have issues when storing texts and letters. In C++, there is very old well-known string type (arrays of chars) and modern types…

A distinctive feature of C++ modern programming is Move Semantics. Although, it can also be a complex subject as it complicates the language in several cases. Experts still have a hard time with its specifics. This video talks about the hidden secrets to understand move…
In order to compile C++ templates the compilers like Embarcadero RAD Studio C++ compilers are required to perform two stages: definition stage and instantiation stage.
The template definition stage
On this stage the following checks are performed:
static assertions and availability of names declarations (such as names of classes and functions) independent on template parameters are…

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides a complete set of features for application development. Code is generally written in text format, and you can easily edit or modify your code using text editors like Notepad, Word, Wordpad, etc. For a developer (beginner or professional), however, an IDE is really important because features like highlights, auto…
