This course will walk you through the newest version of C++ 20, C++ Concepts.

You will go through one of the most significant new features in C++20, which is Concepts. Concepts allow you to create compiler-checked criteria for template parameters, revolutionizing the way you think about and develop generic code. You can use them to provide both syntactic and semantic requirements. They also allow you to explicitly express your goal in the type system. If something goes wrong, you'll get a clear error message from the compiler.

While useful, Concepts can be difficult to apply and even confusing sometimes. This course provides you with the knowledge you need to overcome these obstacles and move on to more complex topics.

Let's get started.

C++ Concepts: Improve Type Safety with C++ 20

`requires std::floating_point<T> || std::unsigned_integral <T>`

`requires (std::floating_point<T> || !std::unsigned_integral <T>)`

`requires std::floating_point<T> || !std::unsigned_integral <T>`

**(Select all that apply)** Which `requires` clause compiles in the following context?

```c++
#include <concepts>
#include <type_traits>

template <typename T>
/*requires clause comes here*/
T add(T a, T b) {
return a+b;
}
```

(Select all that apply) Which <code>requires</code> clause compiles in the following context?
<pre><code class="language-c++">#include &lt;concepts&gt;
#include &lt;type_traits&gt;

template &lt;typename T&gt;
/*requires clause comes here*/
T add(T a, T b) {
return a+b;
}
</code></pre>

**(Select all that apply)** Which function signatures satisfy the concept below?
```c++
template <typename T>
concept HasSquare = requires (T t) {
 {t.square()} -> std::convertible_to<int>;
}
```

(Select all that apply) Which function signatures satisfy the concept below?
<pre><code class="language-c++">template &lt;typename T&gt;
concept HasSquare = requires (T t) {
 {t.square()} -&gt; std::convertible_to&lt;int&gt;;
}
</code></pre>
