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

by dzhar11 on 10/2/22, 10:43 PM with 5 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://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.
