Course Overview

In this course, you’ll master the art of leveraging the latest features of C++20 and harness the full potential of the Standard Template Library (STL). You’ll begin by learning about general STL features and containers for exploring lambda expressions, algorithms, and string streams. You will comprehensively learn and understand the STL’s power. Then, you’ll get hands-on coding experience with utility classes, concurrency and parallelism, and manipulating file systems. By the end of the course, you’ll b...Show More

What You'll Learn

An understanding of C++20 features and lambda expressions

A working knowledge of STL containers and algorithms

An understanding of advanced string streams and formatting

A working knowledge of concurrency and parallelism techniques

About This Course

New C++20 Features

Chapter Overview Format Text with the New Format Library Use Compile-Time Vectors and Strings with Constexpr Safely Compare Integers of Different Types Use the Spaceship Operator <=> for Three-Way Comparisons Easily Find Feature Test Macros with the <version> Header Create Safer Templates with Concepts and Constraints Avoid Re-Compiling Template Libraries with Modules Create Views into Containers with Ranges Quiz: C++20 Features

General STL Features

Chapter Overview Use the New Span Class to Make Our C-Arrays Safer Use Structured Binding to Return Multiple Values Initialize Variables within if and switch Statements Use Template Argument Deduction for Simplicity and Clarity Use If constexpr to Simplify Compile-Time Decisions Quiz: General STL Features Challenge: Make Our Code Safer and Easier to Read

STL Containers

Chapter Overview Use Uniform Erasure Functions to Delete Items from a Container Delete Items from an Unsorted Vector in Constant Time Access Vector Elements Directly and Safely Keep Vector Elements Sorted Efficiently Insert Elements into a Map Efficiently Modify the Keys of Map Items Use unordered_map with Custom Keys Use Set to Sort and Filter User Input A Simple RPN Calculator with Deque A Word Frequency Counter with Map Find Long Sentences with a Vector of Vectors A ToDo List Using Multimap Quiz: STL Containers Challenge: Let's Play with Containers
