Modern C++ Programming Cookbook

Working with Numbers and Strings

Numbers and strings are the fundamental types of any programming language; all other types are based on or composed of these ones. Developers are confronted all the time with tasks such as converting between numbers and strings, parsing and formatting strings, and generating random numbers. This chapter is focused on providing useful recipes for these common tasks using modern C++ language and library features.

The recipes included in this chapter are as follows:

  • Converting between numeric and string types
  • Limits and other properties of numeric types
  • Generating pseudo-random numbers
  • Initializing all the bits of the internal state of a pseudo-random number generator
  • Creating cooked user-defined literals
  • Creating raw, user-defined literals
  • Using raw string literals to avoid escaping characters
  • Creating a library of string helpers
  • Verifying the format of a string using regular expressions
  • Parsing the content of a string using regular expressions
  • Replacing the content of a string using regular expressions
  • Using std::string_view instead of constant string references
  • Formatting text with std::format
  • Using std::format with user-defined types

Let's start this chapter by looking at a very common problem developers face on a daily basis, which is converting between numeric and string types.

Key benefits

  • Explore the latest language and library features of C++20 such as modules, coroutines, concepts, and ranges
  • Shed new light on the core concepts in C++ programming, including functions, algorithms, threading, and concurrency, through practical self-contained recipes
  • Leverage C++ features like smart pointers, move semantics, constexpr, and more for increased robustness and performance

Description

C++ has come a long way to be one of the most widely used general-purpose languages that is fast, efficient, and high-performance at its core. The updated second edition of Modern C++ Programming Cookbook addresses the latest features of C++20, such as modules, concepts, coroutines, and the many additions to the standard library, including ranges and text formatting. The book is organized in the form of practical recipes covering a wide range of problems faced by modern developers. The book also delves into the details of all the core concepts in modern C++ programming, such as functions and classes, iterators and algorithms, streams and the file system, threading and concurrency, smart pointers and move semantics, and many others. It goes into the performance aspects of programming in depth, teaching developers how to write fast and lean code with the help of best practices. Furthermore, the book explores useful patterns and delves into the implementation of many idioms, including pimpl, named parameter, and attorney-client, teaching techniques such as avoiding repetition with the factory pattern. There is also a chapter dedicated to unit testing, where you are introduced to three of the most widely used libraries for C++: Boost.Test, Google Test, and Catch2. By the end of the book, you will be able to effectively leverage the features and techniques of C++11/14/17/20 programming to enhance the performance, scalability, and efficiency of your applications.

Who is this book for?

The book is designed for entry- or medium-level C++ programmers who have a basic knowledge of C++ and want to master the language and become prolific modern C++ developers. Experienced C++ programmers can leverage this book to strengthen their command of C++ and find a good reference to many language and library features of C++11/14/17/20.

What you will learn

  • Understand the new C++20 language and library features and the problems they solve
  • Become skilled at using the standard support for threading and concurrency for daily tasks
  • Leverage the standard library and work with containers, algorithms, and iterators
  • Solve text searching and replacement problems using regular expressions
  • Work with different types of strings and learn the various aspects of compilation
  • Take advantage of the file system library to work with files and directories
  • Implement various useful patterns and idioms
  • Explore the widely used testing frameworks for C++

I have been using C++ for over 3 decades and feel that keeping up with the constantly evolving language is challenging. The author Marius Bancila has done a thorough job of using a Cookbook approach to illustrate the various new capabilities of C++11, C++14, C++17 , C++20 and where these are useful in writing day today C++ code. The book is a great must have desk reference for C++ programmers

Let's face it - Bjarne Stroustrup is the great creator of C++ who gave it the big bang in the beginning, but probably he is not a great writer, not for his couple of voluminous books.Marius Bancila proves himself a great writer for C++ books. This one, titled as a cookbook, is actually a serious one - by serious, I meant there is no folky jokes, or those laborious "head-start" lines of words just to make things lighter yet tedious. This is a well-written, concise (but not meager), to-the-point, and yet you must take the time to "chew" before coming to realize how "tasteful" it is. For different features of the the modern C++, he provides good references to the evolution and when they were adopted or merged into the language. He also provides well-articulated explanation of different language features from C++/11 to C++/20. With 700 pages, it is a cookbook style, but more than a cookbook.Not a book for beginners - you have to have at least some intermediate level C++ experience to fully appreciate the book. Neither a book for those who are used to the "lighter" writing styles. It is a cookbook but carries the gravity of a textbook that you need to "chew" again and again, while each time you can surely be getting something new out of it.I love this book. Period.

The format of the book along with the code examples allows you to understand and start implementingnew concepts in your program immediately.Provides those little details that really matter. Like telling you the header file you need, or that a function that is being used comes from a name space, or what the symbols ?!= are actually doingMakes a great reference. Saves time because you can just look in the book instead reading those 5 to 10 pages that your google search returned.

I was given the privilege to review this book by one of my friend and ai would like to admit this is one of the best book I have come across recently on modern C++.This book is definitely not for beginners but if you have few years of experience with modern c++ and trying to learn to best utilize the c++ modern features , you will start loving this book after reading first chapter two chapters itself.I love the recipes given in this book to explain modern c++ concepts like pimpl and named parameters and attorney client with factory pattern. These are just few examples but the book contains really good recipes to utilize modern language features.I really appreciate the author to also include testing frameworks like google test and boost test since unit testing your code is another important factor in any language.I would highly recommend this book to users who are looking to learn and implement modern c++ features in their projects , i am sure this book will tremendously help in that.

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:
