800 record? You were so underrated back then, considering that even six years later you still have the best C++ tutorial. The most precise, practical, professional, up-to-date and easy to understand. And you are so passionate in these videos too! I've had a headache trying to learn C++, because they only teach what the code means and how to set up the tools for compiling, but give no understanding of how it actually works top-down. It's so hard to grasp the process without CS education, I wasn't really learning and coding most of the time, but collecting scraps of information from different materials trying to build the image of how a process should work. But after your vids about compiler & linker I'm so fired up! I finally know what I'm doing when I write the code. I can't thank you enough!
Well, as a person who is having CS education (and still doing good), I realized that what I know is... almost nothing, compared with UA-cam academy in general and specifically in this series. Got to say that I also feel the same, and it helped me a lot, as now I really understand how things work, at least now it make sense.
Another CS fellow here, still in first sem. I wanna say that I can write code that's sufficient for problem solving but even if I get it to work without copying someone else's code there's still that question in the back of my head "but why?". Why do things this way, what it actually means. The whole reason I like coding in general is the sort of magical feel you get when you build something out of nothing (it's not the instant gratification I chase I swear ;) . But then you get stuck on these questions and it's like someone took away that magic, like everything you're doing is using someone else's power(which is both true and not true). So these c++ videos are a treasure trove that just never ends.
Debugging is love, debugging is life. haha for real: I partially enjoy debugging, its like solving a puzzle.. It can get reaaally frustrating some times, and sometimes even irritating, but over all its a key part of coding and learning to code better I think :)
ΜrCookie I once was using an external library and apparently my code kept crashing. Unfortunately I didn't trace it back to the library since the debugger told me a pointer was deconstructed (the class). After a few hours of hair pulling, I found out the library was manually calling the destructor.
being able to watch the memory allocation that much close is fascinating for me, like you can actually see those value getting stored physically in that hardware is just amazing :O
This really is the best C++ tutorial on UA-cam, I'm running through it again for the 2nd time because Cherno just knows how to teach you how to think like a programmer, even if you're not planning to use C++.
I always used print statements to check execution. Never thought that debugging could have be way easier than that. Thank you Cherno for teaching me how to debug.
wow i have a little bit of programming experience and this series has really helped me to understand the nitty gritty of the whole programming process. tysm for making this
you should sell those pillows as merch seriously, i'm sure lots of us would happily support the channel that way especially those who don't want to do the whole patreon thing
For XCode users: - Memory View : ⌘⌥⇧M or through the Debug --> Debug Workflow --> View Memory menus. - Autos and Locals are available by clicking on the arrow at the very bottom of the debug console. - To Watch a variable: Right-click on a variable and click on "watch", or right-click on the debug console and click on "add expression"
For those not well versed in VS17, Ctrl+F10 (or right-click Run-To Cursor) is a better way of moving from an existing point, to another point in the code (i.e., skip through a for loop)
I think the fact I did not learn how to use the debugger caused that I didn't become a programmer, I used printfs to debug my programs on uni and it was very frustrating and stopped my progress a lot. It was not the only thing - I had different ideas about myself back, a lot of personal issues, but watching this episode right now after 15 years really hits a spot. Maybe I will return to programming :)
i wish i could watch this in my first year of university so that i would not be so frustrated debuging wrongly, now i am a little left behind🩼 but still very fun and helpful to watch
Ohhh my goodness. I can finally see what is going on in the background while writing code. Can’t believe I’ve been going to school for more than 2 years and nothing like this was ever mentioned.. how??? God bless you The Cherno
++i should increment before the comparison, i++ should compare then increment. Unless you are saying that i++ is the last part of the "for" statement and so i++ will increment at the end of each pass. Easy to test by printing i to the screen in the body of the loop.
@@mytech6779 I know this is a really late reply, but this is incorrect. ++i and i++ don't make a difference in the header of a for loop (I believe this is because modern compilers optimize i++ to ++i). However when assigning a variable it does make a difference. If you have a variable x and its value is 7, when you do int j = ++x; the value of j will be set to 8 because the increment operator is applied to x before assignment. However, if you do int j = x++; then the value of j will be set to 7 because the value of x is assigned to j before it gets incremented.
Your timing is impeccable. Just when there's something I need to know like c++ header files or debugging in VS ( like today ) you upload a video on exactly that. Thanks!
"I use the console" would have been more realistic. Anyway he is clearly highlighting some functionalities to let you know they're there if you need them
I am studying C++ on a 1300 pages book, currently around page 850, but being a VS feature I've never used and just discovered Breakpoints and Debug mode only thanks to Cherno. Thank you!
I think we are at a point where people who have no idea about programming have stopped watching. So there wouldn't be too much point in covering very basic stuff like for loops and if statements. Keep up the good work!
Adhyyan He gets to the bottom of everything. It creates a solid base to work from. You could learn something you had no idea you didn't know. It's worth the listen to me. But then again I'm still pretty new. Still here tho. I'm for real trying to learn this so I definitely appreciate the details. I get how it might get boring if you already know most of this but he did say at the beginning that he wanted to create a thorough c++ course that teaches people everything they need to know to create clean, fast code. So hey hey I'm still here don't ya dare take them details away from scrubs like me. Lol
And yet, about no one noticed he got the order of execution wrong lol... it increments before checking the condition while he says that it checks then increments.
Another neat feature in debugging is you can set a condition to only break when the condition has been met. Pretty useful inside loops where you don't want to break everytime it hits the breakpoint. I.e., # Break only when i == 5 for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { std::cout
Han Solo if you have asked me that question, I would have replied "too many." Lolol. I sell guitars in my mother's shop. I wish I could learn to play guitars, yet I have never touched any guitar in my family's shop. I just never get the time for guitar tutorials.
Han Solo I don't really own all the guitars in my family's shop. I was only joking in my last comment. I felt rich which I said "too many." I can write music only in my head and I would love to put that on paper or on musical instruments. I can play piano only just a little, but I don't get free time for myself. Besides I have other hobbies in the evenings and on lazy Sunday. Someday, I will get around to learning guitar or ukulele.
Hit like those who have been programming in Visual Studio for more than 2 Years and still checking this amazing video and learned a lot. U r da best Cherno :) Keep continue ur excellent effort (Y)
Thank you. TQ. TQ. I just performed my first debugging for a program. I even ended up using the Memory Window to check the values in my array change right in front me (I was "stepping over") and see the problem. It just felt so good. Best Video Ever!
thank you...i was a bit scared to play with memory and debugging but now i feel a bit confident. great video and thanks for codelite too. Its a nice simple ide
This video should be the prerequisite for introduction to programming lectures in college to understand what we are going to do . Thanks for fascinating explaining
The only thing i wish these youtube tutorials would do, is provide some exercises for each video with an answer key (if one wants to look). I listen to the video, I am pretty sure i understand it but i guess i just need the confirmation that I have grasped the essence of what is being taught in each video. I am not complaining as i am in the beginner stages of learning so, what would i know?. Anyways, liked and subscribed. P.S There is something about the cool color gradients and the soft music in the background of these videos that keeps me coming back.
Hi Cherno. I just loved this series. Its a great fun. Please continue with this. Currently I will not be able to pay but definitely a lot of love n respect for what you are offering.
I went to university for Computer Science and took multiple programming courses including java, c, and c#. None of the professors thought it was necessary to teach us how to use the debugging tools. I wonder why.
You can also CTRL+F10 and it will run to where the current line where the cursor is. Use that all the time, makes "regular" breakpoints almost useless.
Omg the orange guitar is actually an ideally looking electric guitar that i dream about. Edit: This video has to watch every programmer in the world by my opinion. i did not know anything about "cc". Thank you, Cherno!
I thought that Autos will automatically show the loop variables changing their values, as you step through the loop, but you actually had to manually enter the variable c to see it's values change as the loop circles.
Wow I used to cout everything to check it's valuse and make some code comment /* */ to make it not get executed That's really helpful video Thanks again
Pro tip: right-click on a line and select "Run To Cursor" (or press Ctrl+F10) to move from a breakpoint to specific place without setting a new breakpoint.
*** Potential Error You May Fall In: IF you enable optimization on debugging mode you will not be able to debug your code correctly as the execution will not follow your code instead it will follow the optimized one so you will find the yellow arrow of the debugging mode move in an illogical order

I find that the satisfaction of defeating a really nasty bug is one of the best feelings when coding!
It's also the most defeating... I mean it's always so easy in hindsight. Makes you rethink your belief in your prescience

15:30 - actually, at the end of the loop it will run i++ first, and then do the comparison to check if i < 5
++i should increment before the comparison, i++ should compare then increment. Unless you are saying that i++ is the last part of the "for" statement and so i++ will increment at the end of each pass. Easy to test by printing i to the screen in the body of the loop.

I have found this to be accurate. I was watching i, and it said i was 4, but it was grayed out, apparently it becomes "undefined" after the for loop.
Seeing how easy Visual Studio makes breakpoints has sold me on it.
In my University we use Visual Studio as IDE in most of the classes and I took C, C++ and C# courses using this IDE yet I am just learning to debug
if you can"t debug where you want just change setting of optimization(project properties->C/C++ ->Optimization-> Disable)
