C++23 Fundamentals with Projects & Algorithms

Docker provides a ready-made Linux environment with modern C++ tools like GCC/clang and CMake, enabling you to develop, run, and debug from Visual Studio Code without altering your local setup.

Explore compiler explorer to run C++ code in a browser, compare GCC, Clang, and Visual C++ online, and inspect assembly and resulting binary code.

Explore the C++ project structure, including CMakeLists.txt, presets, modules, main.cpp, and dependencies like fmt, built across Windows, Linux, and macOS with VC package.

Build a CMake project on the terminal with cmake presets across Windows and Linux, then configure, build with ninja, and run the rocket binary.

Discover how variables are stored in memory and C++ data types like integers and floats. Explore binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal number systems and ranges that govern precision.

Explore safe and common initialization in C++, covering braced initialization, functional initialization, and assignment initialization, including zero initialization, using expressions, avoiding narrowing conversions, and introducing the auto type.

Explore C++ integer modifiers—signed, unsigned, short, long, and long long—and their memory sizes; then examine floating-point numbers, fixed and scientific notation, and the concepts of infinity and NaN.

Explore collections in C++ by using stdvector, stdarray, and stdstring to group data, learn dynamic vs fixed containers, and see auto deduce types with practical examples.

Explore using C++ logical and relational operators (and, or, not) with booleans and truth tables, plus math functions (floor, ceil, abs, round, exp, pow, log, log10, sqrt).

Explore literals and constants in modern C++ and how constexpr enables compile-time evaluation. Identify integer, floating point, character, string, and boolean literals, including unsigned, long, and binary, hex, octal forms.

Explore C++ flow control with if statements, switch cases, and the ternary operator, and learn how initializers, else if chains, and short-circuit evaluation shape program decisions.

practice c++ flow control and sfml event handling in a challenge project, using if, switch, loops, and key, mouse, and clock-based updates to drive interactive graphics.

Explore std::array, a fixed-size container in C++, learn to declare, initialize, access with [ ] or at(), iterate with range-based loops, and build one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays with bounds checking.

Explore stdstring as a dynamic collection of characters and compare it to stdvector and stdarray, then declare, access, append, substring, and manipulate strings with familiar operations.

Learn how smart pointers manage dynamic memory in c++, focusing on unique pointers that own memory, release it automatically, and support safe ownership transfer.

Explore building a terminal-based user interface in C++ using the FDX UI library, including VBox layouts, text elements, and interactive buttons, as you tackle challenge 2.

Master std::string fundamentals, including initialization, modification, and concatenation, then explore string literals and the s suffix, to_string, and raw string literals for clean, modern c++ text.

Explore constexpr and consteval functions in C++ to run at compile time or runtime. See how compile-time computations bake results into the binary, shifting cost from runtime to compilation.

Explore function overloading in C++, using the same name for functions with different parameter types or counts, with practical examples like print overloads and std getline.

Build an ftx ui based calculator in c++, using lambda functions and input fields. Choose add, subtract, multiply, or divide with a menu and see the result.
