@@kadiyamsrikar9565 Uh what? C++20 renamed the old XIterator categories (e.g. InputIterator) to LegacyXIterator (e.g. LegacyInputIterator) and introduced a bunch of concepts to more explicitly categorize iterators. Modules has nothing to do with iterators, did you mean ranges? That doesn't replace iterators, but gives you a nicer set of algorithms that work on anything that models a range. Iterators are still there and aren't going away as far as I can tell. Even if ranges eventually replaces them, that will still be several years off.

Since TypeScript become popular, to JS were introduced many features from other languages because people from typed languages could understand JS easier and eg. node.js is written in c++.

Brilliant tutorial on iterators, Cherno. Always good to have such refreshers!

This video is crafted overly well and i love it. Thank you for the thorough explanation of iterators.

Another good reason to use iterators in basic data structures (that you could access by an index) is to have iterators with different behaviors e.g. a reverse iterator (trivial), an iterator that gives you the next random element or that accesses the elements in a specific order or that applies some filter function.

You are too good man. Thanks for this, to the point and easy to understand, no bs.

Great explanation, as always! Waiting for the next episode!

Additionally, would be really useful to mention about the usage of the reference '&' for the iterator it self. I.e. instead of using "for (auto kv : map)" - using "for (const auto& kv : map)" would eliminate unnecessary copies when iterating.

Like said @Peterolen, `kv` is not an iterator here but a `value_type` (see the named requirement LegacyIterator for further information): e.i. the type of the dereferenced iterator. See the range-based for loop for more information about its operation. The `value_type` of `std::map` is `std::pair`, hence the possibility to use the C++17 syntax `auto [a, b] = pair;`.

For the video about iterators, an example about how it could be used for something different than iterating over a collection of element would be to iterate over a random class. Maybe you would construct with arguments about the range (min, max, number of values) and iterate through it, but the iterator would generate random numbers on the fly.

As a side note, ++it is generally more efficient than it++. The postfix operator has to create a temporary under the hood in addition to calling ++it.

@Borgilian

3 жыл бұрын

Not really... As far as I know, ++it used to be more efficient for looping through objects/data structures, and pointless for looping through arrays/vectors of primitives. Nowadays the compiler is optimizing it++ (if it's a modern one), so it gets similar performance to ++it. Still, might be good practice to continue differentiating it++ and ++it in code, since the compiler is not all knowing and might not optimize sometimes.

nice work. As a student,i think that analyzing comlicated STL template design would be quite interesting.

Thank you for clarifying this, which helped me make sense of it right away: Iterators appeared in the language because not all collections can be iterated over by an index.

Thank you so much for this video

Thank you for the amazing videos :)

Thanks once again for a highly informative video! Is there any significant speed difference between regular indexing and iterators on ordered data structures? For example, when I have multiple for loops running over arrays/matrices, would it be faster to use iterators and de-reference pointers or to obtain the values by the usual indexing?

Expected to see operations between iterators, offsets and so on :)

This was brilliant.

We used turbo c++ in our college before we graduated in 2021. Stuff that has not been used since 1996. It makes the students hate this language. I really hope they update their system and their syllabus up to the current technology. Never had a lot of fun there 😅

It would be great to have a video on static code analyzers and sanitizers like address/thread sanitizers, cppcheck, sourcemonitor, etc.

Thank you for the 70+ videos and the 20 sponsors from skillshare

In a sense I felt like this was much more useful video for map than the actual map video. Or maybe I remember poorly. However I remember struggling with maps in 2018 or so. It was a terrible school task of STL containers where you had a nature park hiking routes with locations and you'd have to return the route with least elevation change between requested A and B. I'm still having nightmares from that, I just couldn't wrap my head around that. And another thing was nested maps... It was kinda funny to do the first C++ class in 2011 and the second right in 2018. A lot had changed but I had no idea, because even today the material for the first class is the same. The fundamentals don't change. So I guess I'd love to see more of those more advanced/complicated applications of these simple tools. Things that force you to think but also demonstrations of what's actually going on in there.

Very nice video! As a junior developer it helps me understand my colleagues code xD

thanks for the video. About the last two methods, is there versions of them to iterate to a certain position of the map and not to the full range of it?

Note on Game Engine: I make my 'Game Engine' in Flutter/Node.js/Sql etc... I make it fully multi interactive say Yatzee full functions etc. Then i have idea it would be easy to replace the Yatzee with say Chess and if good game engine it would be more or less easy to implement. My real idea is that when games came about in the beginning most where full programs not much to backup change since each program is isolated. Forward Amiga came with operating system where games could use the operating system simplifying the game structure. Forward more things are given to the game engine so the switch between games made simple. My idea is that a good game engine provides all most important features so ease of new creation.

As a recent CS grad, I never quite understand when people say "my university used x language or version", because my university assignemnts (especially final year) were mostly generalized to whichever language you wanted to use. Aside from certain exceptions - for example groupwork, and my mobile apps course was taught in SwiftUI on a specific version of Xcode, for logistical reasons - this was the norm. Did/are other students experiencing a different kind of CS degree, perhaps more practical and less theoretical? Additionally, what is the merit of constraining students in this way?

Thematically next would be ranges.

Awesome video

I'm really waiting for the exception in C++ class....

Dude, you are a fantastic communicator. Far better teaching as compared with CS lectures that I've taken.

I was told we are doing this is college because they have to show us the theory along with the way things actually work. You arent "supposed" to do certain things without knowing how they work first according to the colleges.

auto is amazing

Cherno, make video about rust vs cpp and Point to the claims of the rust language that all other things can be applied to the Cpp. For example, writing code that adheres to smart pointers(unique_ptr) And shared ptr for secure concurrent context. My suggestion is to build a library that has all these things together under the name secpp, for example.

Iterators are used extensively in stl algorithms library.

My uni was C++11 last I took the classes. And I thought that was a bit outdated…

8:00 i would recommend you write ++it instead of it++ because its more efficient in iterators

So as AraAra said testing both alternatives is the way to go if it really matters, e.g. for performance. It depends a lot on what your data actually is and how well it fits into caches, etc. I would recommend to start with what feels most natural to use for your data (probably list if your data sets are large and you really sort/delete/create a lot) and not worry much about alternatives until you really need an alternative. Because even if vector would be required performance wise (for large data sets) it would be better in many cases only if you take a few other measures like properly making your data cache friendly (e.g. aligning data) and for a real-time application you would even need to do exotic stuff like controlling releasing of memory. And then things get a lot of work...
