Introduction to the C++ Programming Language

[@DaveChurchill]

Note: The class schedule changed since the first lecture. I have combined both C++ lectures into a single video, and added some live-coding sessions as well. This video was originally live streamed in Fall 2022 and edited for inclusion in the Fall 2024 course. This video is meant as an introduction to the C++ programming language for people who already know another programming language like Java / JavaScript / Python.

You should do an episode on simple game networking, I love your explanations and especially your live coding session. I'd love to have a professor like you.

[@DaveChurchill]

@@taintedtaylor2586 I wish I could but I know almost nothing about networking!

[@taintedtaylor2586]

@@DaveChurchill It’s ok, thank you so much for answering!

For those who were not in inperson class, professor mentioned in early UNIX systems, the default name for the output of an assembler or linker was a.out. The tradition carried forward even after compilers like GCC became more widely used.

I'm definitely not new to C++ and enjoy using it (can't say I'm the most proficient though!) but it's always great watching passionate and knowledgable educators at work. Your students are very lucky to have access to high quality teaching like this.

Thank you, Professor Dave 🎉🎉🎉🎉

If this is anything like your SFML lectures then it will be gold dust!

[@kafkaphoenix]

Thanks a lot for sharing all of this for free, really appreciated, amazing explanations aswell

[@bzzz4630]

You are an excellent teacher 🙂

I agree that lack of expressivity in C++ is vastly overblown, but you can definitely write your student loading function in fewer lines of code in Python. For example: def loadFromFile(filename): with open(filename, 'r') as student_data: for line in student_data: first, last, student_id, avg = line.strip().split() addStudent(Student(first, last, student_id, avg)

Very effective 4 hrs i spent.Thanks

Man was starting out the lecture with "C++ is not bad haha... Don't trust the memes... Pls" hoping his students were not scared, when all he had to do was show us the ferret right away. Subbed for George and his TA.

Sir, you dropped this 👑

[@tuphdc8779]

this guy is a total pro

[@alexanderskusnov5119]

getAvg function should return float type, not int.

I love u 😭 i ve been watching ur videos and i just wanted u to know..

[@mhalton]

Only C is worthy of applause!

👍👍👍

[@h3ll0_w0rID]

2:39:41 you meant to say the unary operator is the equal sign

[@DaveChurchill]

I actually meant to say that the ampersand is the unary operator. Equal sign is binary operator

[@h3ll0_w0rID]

@@DaveChurchill Oh I see. I assumed equal because I havent seen the ampersand called an operator. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@weiSane]

Ah c++ you messy language. I guess I will give you another go.

[@WokwithLan]

Nice. I also tackeled this on my channel.

[@nikolaitesla4267]

Aww George looks immaculate! I hope he lands a big job and makes a AAA game soon 😄

[@DaveChurchill]

Unfortunately George passed away, but he is still an inspiration :)

IAM learning cpp and have printed 1000 page book still watching this video

[@szymoniak75]

jesse we have to program c++

[@DaveChurchill]

can't cook with java

It would be better not to use dark background for video.

Could you make a 3D SfML videos

SFML is a 2D graphics library only

Java is neither a compiled language nor an interpreted language, but both.

[@Mark-zk7uj]

it's almost like these terms are only applicable to programs, not programming languages

[@DaveChurchill]

Java source code is compiled into byte code, which is run on the JVM. Some JVM implementations interpret the code, some JIT it to machine code. So it's definitely always compiled, just not to machine code in all cases.

[@IgorLisx]

32:50 - you lost me with Allman style. Never will accept that ugly style.

[@DaveChurchill]

I also thought this way until I tried it for a significant amount of time.

[@IgorLisx]

@@DaveChurchill ehhh, not sure about that. Having 18 yrs. experience with Java, I became pretty strict with code style.

Allman is the best.
