I'm about 2 weeks now in my journey of learning C++ and freeRTOS for programming some ESP32s, and from a JS/Python person POV it's a whole new perspective, you really feel like you are controlling a computer down to the bare metal for the first time. I think every programming enthusiast should try it. Especially with something like a microcontroller where you really need to care about the stack/heap and living inside of a few 100k of ram.

The benefits of unique pointers are not to only allocate something once, it's more about making sure a resource is only deallocated once as it will call the underlying objects destructor when it goes out of scope together with the fact that it can only have a single owner.
It took me almost a decade of programing to have the knowledge to fully understand this sentence. It truly sounds like sci-fi giberish out of context
Yes. I 100% agree..
What are we talking about?
Hello Asura! You seem to be really good with C++ and your channel has some hardware related stuff which also looks very cool. I am kind of new to the IT industry and I want to reach big boy level CPP along with hardware stuff that you have going there. wat do?
Yeah that wasn't well explained
C++ is honestly a pretty simple language as long as youâre taking advantage of smart pointers and other modern c++ features.
c++ having a string library means everything. Having done a course in Operating Systems that was C and that's it, having to manually write string manipulation functions was quite tedious. Not impossible or incredibly difficult, but felt like reinventing the wheel.
That's so true. I feel exactly the same!
As someone who just started c++ and doesn't know what a string is, i agree!

C++ std::string is extremely bad tho, no wonder Qt's string class is still preferred by a lot of people, even though it predates std::string

C++ of 2022, is EXTREMELY different to C++ of 20+ years ago. Now it has extremely high level libraries on the DEFAULT spec so you can do things that any extremely high level language like python did by default (like text parsing) and I think if it had those features from the start dozens of popular languages would not even EXIST.
Can you list the 10 best features of modern C++
@@drygordspellweaver8761 I can mention some. Functions to convert strings to integers and vice-versa that were not existing. (2) Algorithms library that has like 100+ functionalities. (3) Boost library. (4) Lamba functions. (5) Modern Containers like sets, maps, and others. They are elegantly done and they are efficient too. (6) The std namespace has been immensely expanded through C++ 14, 17, and 20. You can check it out. There are so many new features that make C++ look really modern these days. One example is the array class. (7) Three-way comparison operator. (8) Coroutines

Itâs funny how, even with as much as you covered in as much detail as you can in 165 seconds, the language has evolved so much that discussing templates, lambdas, the ranges library and functional patterns in addition to everything you covered would mean anyone would have to go at ârap godâ just to get through it all in the small timeframe. Relay impressed on the level of detail you did go to for this video. Excellent job, love your work! Looking forward to the next one.
Omg, when i wanted to have fun programming on DOS with non-standard c++ from 1989... That is basically C... Really...
You can see how much c++ changed if you use Borland turbo c++...
I think just going through the more than dozen ways of initializing a variable in C++ these days will take more than 100 seconds.
"using namespace std;" is kind of an anti-pattern. It's almost like saying "import *" in Python. You code becomes more terse, but now you can't tell if a keyword is builtin or from the namespace (or from the other namespace you 'used'/imported). And never put this in a header file, it'll hose anyone who includes your header.
but getting rid of stds is good and healthy
Very valid fact here......

@NerdCademy No one cares for a quick demo incels, have sex
C++ was created as a superset of C but they have diverged since.
Oh absolutely. The general consensus in the cpp community is to avoid many of the vanilla C features which makes certain code unsafe.
Why
@@fallenIights not a c++ programmer but its obvious that trying to be a Superset of c took a lotta baggage. Im sure c++ wouldve been much cleaner if it wasnt trying to be c with classes
@@fallenIights Because you can do almost anything in C, including stuff that will break a program faster than anything else. C++ tends to be more secure and make it harder to do something stupid. Mixing old C and modern C++ is a good way to give you headache as they doesn't really have the same concepts anymore.
C++ get rids of the low level heap allocation (and deallocation) which the source of most of the bugs in C programs.
Not sure everything said above was english btw ....
â@@fallenIights
C++ is a superset of C89/90 but since C99 things like variable length arrays and the restricted keyword have been introduced to C that are not present within C++.
Why? Different committees make different decisions. đ€·
In school they showed us basics of a few different programming languages, and i think C++ was my personal favourite out of all of them, i hope to learn more of it in the future

@@TheMR-777 it says "when used with cout"
@@igorswies5913 Mmm, yeah, we âcanâ say. But I meant, although it's beginner-friendly, one may get to know the real term, when he/she will see the âactualâ usage of that operator. It may confuse them at that point (as it did to me).
Minor gripe: at 1:22, we don't call that the "bitwise shift left" in this context, but the stream insertion operator, or steam operator. Operators can be overloaded in C++, but people try to keep it "usual".
and he called it double colon, not scope resolution operator!!!
I was very confused when he called it a "bitwise shift left". For a second, I wondered if insertion had just been a shift this whole time, then I remembered writing my own insertion operators and realized my folly.
He is "keeping it usual" by calling it the shift left operator. Given that it is overloadable, its meaning in any particular context could be anything, but its usual meaning is shift left, which is therefore the best name for the operator overall.
But it _is_ the bitwise left shift operator. You might not call it that, but many C++ programmers do. Bitwise operations are the original purpose of the shift operators. The only reason they're called stream operators after the fact is because the developers of std::iostream overloaded them for covenience.
You mean the less than sign?

C++ has been one of my favourite languages ever since i learned it. Its blazing fast but sucks when it comes to cross platform apps you need to build code for every single architecture and every platform that your app support.
I heard someone asking about Java
It is my fav language, i think that being such low-level and comprehensible for and high-level language is cool...
Yes, it may have lot of things like come people criticize, but i think that is cool, every programmer can have a style and in fact, you can use it in a pretty simple way, because some basic commands are enough to mess with everything...
I like python too, but i got so adapted to pointers that i have to reconfigure my brain when using python...
I used to think those things were confusing until you get used to it and in fact it is super simple...
Some logic is wrong? Having problem with objects and classes? Well, cast it as (char *) and f- it! Works like magic!
It was for me, too.
Until I discovered Rust
@Glizzster That is another cool things about C++, since it is kinda old, there is lot of libs...
Also, game and music, there is lot of c++ stuff... I think because speed and stuff...

PERFECT TIMING I JUST STARTED LEARNING THIS YESTERDAY AND WAS CONFUSED
I've been mastering all the standards of C++, as it has become my favorite language!
I love the Quote of Bjarne about Blowing the foot off :)
So true,
How? Can you give us an example?
@@someshwartripathi8446 My perspective can be different, but it's somehow related to the people who criticize C++ :)
As, I have seen many people (mostly unguided beginners, unfortunately) who start working in C++, and then get frustrated by the warnings and errors, which the compilers give (many times causing a cascade of errors).
Instead, they start working in some higher level language, and the code just ârunsâ. They become happy, but when the code is used in real-time scenarios, they get badly failed.
And it gets extremely difficult, and complicated to trace down that error, they made in their logic.
Simply, we should always try to improve ourselves, optimize our logics, and only then compiler will help us grow along. Otherwise, you may have got the meaning of blowing the foot off :)
Loving the 100s second series currently, could you do a sort of general Programming Vobulary in 100 seconds? I've noticed a lot of terms being used in a lot of these and I don't always know what they mean.

std::unique_ptr ptrJeff(new Human);
When using the new keyword, allocate is still done to the heap like a normal pointer. Consider this instead:
std::unique_ptr ptrJeff = std::make_unique();
Or, even:
auto ptrJeff = std::make_unique();
This is especially important for shared pointers. For unique pointers, the only difference in the end is exception handling.
Also, smart pointers need #include .
Another thing to keep in mind is that these were added in c++11, so it might even be a good idea to specify. -std=c++11 or later.
make_unique also allocates on the heap. There's no difference there. The main difference between using make_unique and unique_ptr(new x) is with exceptions: if you have an expression with two unique_ptr(new bla) subexpressions, the order of evaluation is unspecified which means you might run two "new"s and then the two unique_ptr constructions. If the second new throws an exception, the first one will leak. This may have been fixed with the evaluation order changes in c++17 but I don't see a point in risking it.
make_unique also has a teachability benefit in that you can give a blanket guidelines like "never use the keyword new" and it'll be valid every time.
@@isodoubIet Yes, they are also allocated to the heap. I mean that using new allocates without the ref counting / etc of smart pointers.
Bravo, you basically went through everything you go through in intro to CS for C++ and very well!
It came out right as I was getting into C++! I was waiting for this one!
A couple things to add:
1. C code is likely to not run on C++ compilers because of the fact that C++ doesn't consider some C keywords as valid (like restrict)
2. It's advised to avoid using namespace std and instead either use something like using std::cout or just using std::cout all the time.
also use '
' instead of std::endl so it doesn't flush every newline
@@prodbykomrebi Yup I forgot to add this, even tho this should be fine outside loops
The statement that âAny valid C program is a valid C++ programâ simply isnât true. Many, but not all, things you do in C will work in C++. Also, donât use âusing namespace stdâ at the top of main. It is one of the cardinal sins of C++ development.

It's called namespace pollution. In short if you create a function with the same name as any function inside the standard linbrary it will at worst call the standard library instead of your own code and at best fail to compile due to ambiguity.
The fact that the best case is compilation failure should tell you that bugs due to this behaviour are a nightmare to debug.

I'm so glad I learned C and C++ basics in college before going after high level languages like Java, Python and JavaScript. Struggling with pointers, data structures and memory management makes other languages like a piece of cake, the only problem i faced was the different way of coding as in general coding in C and C++ is mostly procedural while with the languages i mentioned it's mostly POO + Functional
The other languages are only missing memory management.
@@KManAbout You mean languages like JS and Python? Aren't those expecting you to rely on garbage collectors? You're right that you as the programmer should care about memory management and not just leave it to something else
@@supernenechi I am saying that js and so on lack manual memory management. (go has pointers). Garbage collection is auto mem management.

A using declaration would be preferable, like âusing std::coutâ. It still allows the use of cout without std:: while avoiding the naming collision issue, when used inside a function.

Really like your work man. Just took a course in C++ and this video really did good in condensing all that information and more. I was wondering though, what are you using to quickly fill in your code? I see you're not even typing, just stuff is appearing that seems faster than any ctrl+c ctrl+v I've seen.
I can feel the struggle of trying to cram every aspect of C++ in 100 seconds. Btw, "using namespace" and "new" mixed with smart pointers made me scream in pain.
Using namespace std is something that will bite you eventually.
Unique_ptr is a great idea but always prefer the std::make_unique initialization.
Why should we use std::make_unique instead of a "normal" initialization?
@@blackfowl75 it frees the memory when its not used anymore ( out of scope )
@@blackfowl75 make_unique is more concise, avoiding repeating the type. It also safely handles exceptions where using `new` in the constructor may leak memory if an exception occurs.
There are performance reasons as well. make_unique and make_shared construct the object in place, rather than creating a temporary object and then having to move or copy it. The arguments to make_shared are the same as the constructor for that class. This also applies to emplace_back and emplace_front in various containers, as opposed to push_back or push_front which will have to move/copy the object.
smart pointers will still delete the memory if you assign a raw pointer to them, as they own that pointer now. But as Votlu points out, there might be a leak if there's an exception between your "new" and the return of make_unique. You also have to be sure you're not using that raw pointer any more after you give ownership to the smart pointer.
@@cptegonbr140 That's not what make_unique does. The actual deletion of the resources is handled by the deleter you specify to the unique_ptr (which by default just invokes 'delete') in the destructor. make_unique is used for constructing a unique_ptr in an exception safe way.
This is a golden content. I swear if you got some programming background just by watching the video you could do a lot of stuff hahah

the > used for cout and cin aren't bitshifts. They just happen to use the same symbol as a bitshift because symbols are scarce.
Actually, the standard refers to those symbols as "bitwise left shift" and "bitwise right shift". Specifically see the table on the "arithmetic operators" page in cppreference, which gives the general names of the operators.
But yes, people do also often call them the stream output and stream extraction operators.

nevermind i found it a while ago forgot to update the comment
Curiosity brought me here.
This guy just summarized my entire C++ experience: write small program, have it fail, rewrite it, have it fail 20 more times, then finally get it somewhat working. The language is very adaptive, but I had my first REEEEE when using it
Since i understand little bit of c++ and c its has been fun to watch
Ok, I have couple gripes with this video.
1) Don't declare "using namespace std;" globally. It can cause ambiguities.
2) std::unique_ptr doesn't do what you say. Firstly, raw pointer is simply a variable that contains address to data of a certain type. int*, for example, points to date with type of int, char* to data with type of char, etc... std::unique_ptr is a wrapper over raw pointer that is deallocated on stack (at the end of {} block). When end of the {} block is reached destructor of class std::unique_ptr is being called which in turn calls destructor of an object the std::unique_ptr pointer was pointing at. When it comes to raw pointer only the variable that contains the address would be deallocated while data at said address would remain with no reference to access it (provided that data was created with "new" and assigned to pointer or created outside of this {} block).
Now think of ICopyable in C#. Now imagine that this property is explicitly deleted inside std::unique_ptr class. That means that the pointer can no longer be passed by copy into anything thus guaranteeing that one and only one reference to given piece of data exists. If you still want to pass it around you can use std::move but it will null the pointer at place where you passed it from.
Alternatively if you want to pass pointer to data around you can use std::shared_ptr which again is wrapper over raw pointer but it can be copied and atomically counts the amount of references to data across the program. Once the count reaches zero data is being deallocated.
And this is why c++ is so deadly. You miss any of those steps, and you get a memory leak.
@@andrewrichesson8627 Not really in the case of smart pointers, it will just not work ^^
@@andrewrichesson8627 If you code improperly, RAII makes it almost as easy to not get memory leaks as in a language with a garbage collector.
@@valizeth4073 true, but you'll get a lot of dangling references anyway
I hate to do the " BUT AKSUALLY", but anyway:
C++ isnt a strict superset of C, not all C programs run under a C++ compiler.
inheritance isn't a zero-overhead abstraction. It definitely has an overhead.
It depends on whether you're using virtual functions. If the types are all known at compile time then it costs nothing to call a superclass function on a subclass object. Templates are also purely compile time abstractions, although they do increase the binary size if you're counting that.
std::cout > uses bitshift right. They are called Insertion operators.
Amazing video as always!
Which music do you use for these videos?
Important lesson: *Never use "using namespace std;"*
