Ask HN: Where can I find C++ by Example?

12 pointsdzhar113y ago5 comments

I want to spend some spare time and have some fun learning C++, because I respect this language. This is my hobby goal. Many know about "Go by Example" and "Rust by Example" where I have enjoyed these little experiments and well-written text. But where can I find something like "C++ by Example"?

Edit 00: What I am looking for is a language tour (I have read Stroustrup's "A tour of C++"), but I want something more interactive.

- have an IDE / text editor can set in cli for the file to be launched/done by compiler

- the cli must has option compile and stop, to have shortest read-execute cycle just to test syntax, have it full to link, so can print to test full

- have a new directory,

- set it 0 permission means everyone, or 777 on Linux

- highly recommended on Ram that is it's virtual disk

- have a c++ source there

- this way only it can simulate REPL - read execute print loop of interpreter act

- enjoy your little experiments of well-written c++ text by this EREPL - Edit REPL

Here you go:

https://cppbyexample.com/

https://hackingcpp.com/

https://www.learncpp.com/

https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features

https://cppinsights.io/ it's a must so you can investigate what gets generated by templates behind the scenes.

http://eel.is/c++draft/ bookmark this, you will need it!

Enjoy!

These two are very good beginner resources:

https://pythontutor.com/cpp.html

https://www.learn-cpp.org

The other resources are:

https://godbolt.org

https://root.cern/cling
