The C++17 brings a lot of features to the modern programming. The Parallelism Technical Specification adds several new algorithms to the standard C++ library. These are modernized in the <algorithm> header in the standard library. In this library there is a very less know useful algorithm std::clamp, which is an algorithm that returns value in its range. In this post, we explain what is…
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…
Everything You Need To Know About The Copy Assignment Operator In C++ Classes
January 4, 2024
Classes and Objects are part of object-oriented methods and typically provide features such as properties and methods. One of the great features of an object orientated language like C++ is a copy assignment operator that is used with operator= to create a new object from…
C++17 standard is amazing with a lot of new features, and one of the interesting features was the new type std::any. std::any is a type-safe container to store a single value of any variable type. In this post, we explain std::any in modern C++.
What is std::any in C++…
C++17 had enormous changes in C++ features. One of them was basic_string_view (std::basic_string_view) which is a constant string container that can be used for multiple string declarations. The basic_string_view is a modern way of read-only text definition. It can be used by iterators and other methods of the basic_string_view class. In this post, we explain basic_string_view and its…
With the C++17 standard, the contents of the Parallelism Technical Specification are added to modern C++, and as a result, make their way into many C++ compilers and IDEs, such as the latest C++ Builder 12. This feature adds new overloads, taking an additional execution…
In modern C++, the filesystem library allows portable interaction with directories and directory-like structures providing functions such as listing directory contents and moving files. After the C++17 standard, the contents of the Filesystems Technical Specification are…
In programming, one of the most used variable types are 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…
