Great explanation!

Thank you! Glad you thought so! :^)

please cmiiw, but the extern keyword was neither talked about in the C++ From Scratch series nor this one yet. If you don't mind, I'd be curious about the reason behind that. Is it because extern is more C-like (older) and inline is the way to go in (modern) C++? Sure, there're are multiple ways of solving a problem, but I would've loved a short weighting/mention. Nonetheless great video, thank you!!

W.r.t. "C++ From Scratch", I omitted talking about it because I didn't think it fit in that series (I wanted to stay more focused on the different parts of C++, and not get bogged down in preprocessor/compilation/linker topics). This current series (Software Dev. with C++) is more focused on topics like building C++ programs (where I think extern fits). I will likely talk about the extern keyword in the context of C/C++ interoperability. Cheers, --Nick
