    C++: The Basics - eps1.7_Struct

    Hello and welcome. Didn’t the past source code examples have enough context for you? No problem, because now we bring structure to our coding skills.

    In the last episode we learned about the first user-defined data type, the enumeration, and used it to define our own type. Today we’ll look at another way to create custom data types.

    Q2.19 - so far, so good...

    Hello and welcome to another quarterly report. It’s always good to keep your progress in front of yourself. That way you know if you’re still on the right track and have confirmation of your accomplishments in moments of doubt.

    What all have we learned, experienced and accomplished in the past weeks?

    C++: The Basics - eps1.6_Enumeration

    Hello and welcome. I know it’s been a few days and in today’s information age that’s half an eternity, but we have been studying typing. There we learned about the primitive data types of C++.

    With their help, you can already restrict value ranges very well and ensure type safety. However, if you need more complex data types or if they are too unique for your use case, you are free to say:

    “That’s not good enough for us!”

    Fortunately, C++ lets you compose and define your own from the basic data types.

    C++: The Basics - eps1.5_InputOutput

    Where do I come from? Where am I going? Does it all make sense? Philosophers and intellectuals have been dealing with these questions since time immemorial. But so far nobody found a final answer to it.

    No, I am not in a crisis of meaning, nor do I intend to live ascetically in Tibet for seven years. It seems to me to be such a fundamental question that it fits just as well to our topic in a modified form.

    Where does the data come from?

    Where does the processed data go?

    Does my programming make any sense at all?

    C++: The Basics - eps1.4_Datatypes

    Last weekend I met a great and charming guy. Well, “met” is a bit exaggerated. It was more like a fleeting encounter. Since then I can’t get him out of my head. But I don’t know if he is the right one for me. What do I do now?

    Reads like a post in a dating forum. - But is not! - No, it’s the introductory thoughts when I’m trying to choose a suitable data type.
