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 callable object and what is a functor in modern C++.

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…
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 and how we can use it with an mt19937 random generator.
What is the std::sample algorithm in C++ 17 and beyond?
The…
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…
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…
The C++17 standard came with a lot of great features and std::optional was one of the main features of today’s modern C++. std::optional<T> is a class template that is defined in the <optional> header and represents either a T value or no value. In this post, we explain, what is optional in modern C++ and how we can use it efficiently.
What is the optional class template in C++ 17…
One of the great features of C++ is templates, they are parameterized by alias templates in C++11. Then, In C++14 and C++17, they improved C++11’s feature with a number of template aliases whose use simplifies the traits. This feature is called “Alias Templates…
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…
