Share Description
In this course, you will :
- Explore some of the more complex aspects of this fundamental programming language, such as smart pointers and move semantics.
- starts by delving deeper into the topic of classes and objects, including class inheritance.
- goes over smart pointers, which combine pointer functionality with managed memory allocation.
- move semantics, including the copy-and-swap idiom; lambda functions; working with a unit test library; and creating a custom string library are all covered.
