We will look at how to use if...else conditional statements in C and understand how they work. This clip is from the chapter "Conditional Statements" of the series "Learn and Master C Programming For Absolute Beginners!".In this section,...

Defining conditions and their usage in Python programming

When we use a template, we instantiate it. Let’s create a type that performs fixed-point arithmetic, parameterized with templates. Then let’s support that type in our math library

How many arguments should a function have, and how to pass them properly? There are simple ways for making the functions even better.

• How many argum
ents?
• Passing by value, by reference and
by pointer
• Return...

Python is the becoming the language of choice for pretty much every arena. It is a very simple yet extremely powerful programming language. It is a scripting language that is widely used for prototyping to get work up and running...

C++17 has introduced parallel STL. Many of the existing algorithms can now be executed in parallel. Parallelism can be enabled by specifying execution policies. In this video we will learn how existing algorithms can be parallelized...

STL provides many containers, many of them similar. When to use std::vector, and when std::list? This video provides some answers.

• Contiguous storage: array and v
ector
• Details of std::vector, and why prefer vectors...

Inheritance is one of the cornerstone features of object-oriented design. We use it to represent a set of hierarchically organized concepts. How to design a good hierarchy?

Writing a coroutine framework is not as simple as writing a function. In this video, we will try to create the simplest coroutine possible. This coroutine will do nothing useful, but we will implement all the required elements.

C++ is a multi-paradigm programming language. We learn about different paradigms (styles), and how C++ supports them.

Our “equal” function uses an epsilon to compare values. This works well with floating point types, but it’s inefficient for fixed point. We can try to specialize the function template, but how to do this in a generic way?

•...

Shared_ptr is a reference-counting smart pointer. It’s less efficient than unique_ptr, but lets us forget about complexities of memory management, and helps avoid double delete bugs.

• How shared_ptr
works
• Using...

In this video we will see how useful the new coroutine framework is. We will take the example from Section 9, where we first calculate the average value, then use that value to find standard deviation and items above average in...

Real-world programs manipulate data in numerous ways. You will need filtering, conversions, transformations, and so on. There is always a temptation to write a loop, but STL algorithms are preferable.

• How many ways are there...

It’s easy to use multiple threads in modern C++. Writing safe multi-threaded code, on the other hand, is not easy. The difficult part is accessing data.

A function should perform a single logical operation. Small functions are easy to maintain and promote code reuse. The most common anti-pattern is a function that does too many things.

• Why small functions are
good?

Constructors, destructors, and assignment operators are all about object’s lifetime. Sometimes they are automatically generated, sometimes not. This video, provides instructions on how to deal with them.

• The rule of zero:...

Templates make poor interfaces: typename is a wildcard. Concepts let us set requirements for template parameters. Template writer can easily describe what’s expected of the user. Concepts make template interface good.

In this coding demo, we use lambda expressions to implement callbacks, for adding logger capability to the server, without increasing coupling.

Task creation is cheap, but it’s not free. We have to find a compromise between loading all threads with data and introducing unnecessary overhead. In this video we will learn a simple formula for distributing the work, and also...

Publication safety pattern that we have implemented with atomics, is somewhat harder to implement for non-trivial types. Luckily, STL provides some primitives for publication safety. In this video we will learn about std future, std...

So far, we have explored a single use case for concepts. There are more benefits and more tools at our disposal. Some best practices are already defined too.
