C++14
C++14 was released in 2014. The motive for releasing C++14 was to make the improvement that was left or not done in C++11 to make it a cleaner and faster language.
Key features of C++14 features are:
- Improved Template Aliases: Simplified syntax for defining type aliases using the using keyword.
- Binary Literals: The ability to represent integral values in binary form for improved readability.
- Relaxed constexpr: Relaxed constexpr relaxes some of the limitations of the constexpr that makes it more flexible.
- Generic Lambdas: C++14 allows the lambda to be used with the auto keyword as the parameter type in the parameter list as generic parameters.
- Return type deduction for functions: The normal functions can be used with the “auto” keyword as their return type which can automatically deduce their return type.
C++ Standards and Implementations
C++ programming language is widely used and known for its power, versatility, and performance. C++ is an extension of the C programming language created by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup. With time several C++ standards have been introduced with new features and enhancements. In this article, we will explore the major C++ standards, along with their key features to understand the evolution of C++ and the benefits provided to programmers or developers.
Nowadays C++ is popular for competitive programming because of its performance but it is also used for building robust applications which we are using in our daily life. A few of them are given below:
- Operating Systems
- Games
- Embedded Systems
- Compilers
- Web Browsers
