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 the year the standard was adopted such as 1998 for C++98, 2011 for4 C++11, 2014 for C++14,and 2017 for C++17. One of the…
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…
The C++11 standard introduced a new alignment feature as one of the many features of the C++ programming language that can be used with the newest C++ compilers today. This new feature was a new keyword align std::aligned_alloc that is used to provide a nested type that can…
C++ is highly evolved and mature programming language. The C++ language has a great set of choices of modern C++ IDE and compilers all of which come with a lot of tools, GUI components and libraries.
By using C++, you can create functional programs to solve complex engineering problems, you can simulate and analyze with 2D/3D graphics, create 3D environments, and add your custom 3D objects…
In this article we will go through the steps required to set up C++Builder. By the end of this article you will have learnt how to set up your development environment and will be ready to build your first project. Let’s go through the steps one by…
The source code written in C++ must be compiled (i.e. translated to the machine code) by one or another compiler such as Embarcadero RAD Studio C++ compilers before in can be runned. In general, there are two types of the resulting machine code: library and main executable…
The posts General Loop Statements in Modern C++ and Range-for-statement in modern C++ cover ways to write explicit loops. But explicit loops can be tedious to write and, what is more important, – harder to read, because the resulting code requires to spend the extra time by others in order to understand what is going on in the explicit loop. As alternative, the C++ standard library provides…
Each loop statement in C++ has its loop body which is executed repeatedly until the loop condition expression that yields a loop condition becomes false (otherwise, the loop will run “forever”). The statement continue can be used to interrupt the current…
The C++ language provides the switch statement which can be used to replace the set of if statements (see If Statements in Modern C++). First of all, let’s define the enum type Traffic_light_color as follows:
enum class Traffic_light_color { red, yellow, green…
Every implementation of the C++ Standard Library like one included to Embarcadero RAD Studio C++ compilers provides two ways for (pseudo-)random numbers generation: old-fashioned facilities from <cstdlib> and modern facilities provided by <random>.
Facilities from <cstdlib>
There are two very simple functions provided by the C random library: std::srand() and std::rand().
