Learn Advanced C++ Programming

Discover how vectors manage memory in C++, including size vs capacity and how capacity grows, with push_back, reserve, resize, and clear. Compare index-based loops and iterators for efficient iteration.

Explore maps in the C++ standard template library, storing unique key-value pairs, inserting and overwriting entries, and using iterators and find to test presence.

Explore stacks and queues in C++, comparing last-in, first-out with first-in, first-out. Learn push and pop, top and front access, and risks of invalidated references after pops.

Learn how to overload the left bit shift operator to print a test object with id and name using cout, via a friend function returning an upstream stream.

Learn how template classes in C++ enable writing generic classes that store and manipulate user-specified types using a type parameter t, with examples like vector, stream insertion, and maps.

Explore object slicing and polymorphism in C++ by comparing non-virtual and virtual methods, showing how upcasting and copy construction can slice subclass data, and how a virtual destructor ensures cleanup.

Learn abstract classes and pure virtual functions in C++, preventing base instantiation while deriving concrete animals like dog from an animal base class; use pointers and polymorphism for unified handling.

Explore decltype and typeid in c++11, enable c++11 in your compiler with flags, include the type info header, and see how typeid exposes type information and name mangling.

Implement a template ring buffer class in a header file using a dynamic array. Add values with a wraparound parse index and return elements by index as references, without iterators.

Learn to make a ring buffer iterable by implementing begin and end, a nested iterator with ++ and * operators, enabling range-based for loops in C++98 and C++11.

Discover brace initialization in C++11, including initialization of vectors, arrays, strings, and pointers, the move from C++98, and the new nullptr keyword for pointers.

Learn how to initialize lists in C++11 with initializer lists, apply them in constructors and functions, and iterate braced values like {apple, orange, banana}.

Learn lambda expressions in c++11, including anonymous functions stored in auto and passed to functions via function pointers, with direct invocation and compiler enablement guidance.

Explore the mutable keyword in C++ lambda expressions, learn how to modify a by-value captured variable inside a lambda, and see how copies change without altering the original.

Explore copy elision and return value optimization in C++ to understand how temporary objects are avoided in both C++98 and C++11, and preview move semantics.

Implement a Mandelbrot fractal class in C++: static get_iterations and a max_iterations constant. Build a simple main loop to map iterations to color and highlight compilation checks.

Use the RGB class to interpolate colors from a start color to an end color by computing the color difference for red, green, and blue. Move zoom handling to main.

Figure out which pixel range corresponds to its iteration count in a Mandelbrot fractal by implementing a get range function, using ranges, asserts, and debugging to prevent out-of-bounds access.
