Class basics

A class is a user-defined type. A class is introduced with the class, struct or union keyword. In colloquial usage, the term "class" usually refers only to non-union classes. A class is a collection of class members, which can be: member variables (also called "fields"), mem...

Access specifiers

There are three keywords that act as access specifiers. These limit the access to class members following the specifier, until another specifier changes the access level again: KeywordDescriptionpublicEveryone has accessprotectedOnly the class itself, derived classes and friends have accessprivate...

Sharing ownership (std::shared_ptr)

The class template std::shared_ptr defines a shared pointer that is able to share ownership of an object with other shared pointers. This contrasts to std::unique_ptr which represents exclusive ownership. The sharing behavior is implemented through a technique known as reference counting, where the...

Sharing with temporary ownership (std::weak_ptr)

Instances of std::weak_ptr can point to objects owned by instances of std::shared_ptr while only becoming temporary owners themselves. This means that weak pointers do not alter the object's reference count and therefore do not prevent an object's deletion if all of the object's shared pointers are ...

What is Function Overloading?

Function overloading is having multiple functions declared in the same scope with the exact same name exist in the same place (known as scope) differing only in their signature, meaning the arguments they accept. Suppose you are writing a series of functions for generalized printing capabilities, b...

Initializing a std::vector

A std::vector can be initialized in several ways while declaring it: C++11 std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; // v becomes {1, 2, 3} // Different from std::vector<int> v(3, 6) std::vector<int> v{ 3, 6 }; // v becomes {3, 6} // Different from std::vector<int> v{3, ...

Inserting Elements

Appending an element at the end of a vector (by copying/moving): struct Point { double x, y; Point(double x, double y) : x(x), y(y) {} }; std::vector<Point> v; Point p(10.0, 2.0); v.push_back(p); // p is copied into the vector. C++11 Appending an element at the end of a vector ...

Iterating Over std::vector

You can iterate over a std::vector in several ways. For each of the following sections, v is defined as follows: std::vector<int> v; Iterating in the Forward Direction C++11 // Range based for for(const auto& value: v) { std::cout << value << "\n"; } /...

Accessing Elements

There are two primary ways of accessing elements in a std::vector index-based access iterators Index-based access: This can be done either with the subscript operator [], or the member function at(). Both return a reference to the element at the respective position in the std::vector (unles...

Using std::vector as a C array

There are several ways to use a std::vector as a C array (for example, for compatibility with C libraries). This is possible because the elements in a vector are stored contiguously. C++11 std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; int* p = v.data(); In contrast to solutions based on previous C++ st...

Number of Lines

When you make a label and set its text to be more than a single line that it can display, it will be truncated and you will see only one line of text ending with three dots (...). This is because a property called numberOfLines is set to 1, and therefore only one line will be displayed. It is a comm...
