Some important take-aways from Overland: Chapter 2
- Some of the c++ features that are covered in chapter 2 are part of the new C++ 11 standard. Note that if you don’t have the most up-to-date compiler installed, some of the examples may not work on your computer. If you’re having trouble, but not sure, slap a question on Piazza.
- Read, but don’t obsess over, section 2.5.3.
- Read, and obsess over, section 2.6. Understanding the difference between single quoted characters and anything in double quotes will save you much pain and tears later.
- Characters are stored as ascii codes, literally, integers.
- Section 2.7, you can skip constexpr, extern, register, thread_local, and volatile modifiers.
- Read, but don’t obsess over, section 2.9.
