    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 :)

      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.

    • @mytech6779
      @mytech6779 6 років тому +4

      ++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.

      @tylerlowrey8854 4 роки тому +11

      @@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.

    • @NackySlocker

    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.

    Just a point of note: You need to be in debug mode in order to open the memory window. It means you place a break point, start debugging and then go to the menu Debug -> Windows to see the Memory option. I couldn't find it and a simple search revealed this fact. When Cherno opened the memory window, he was already in the debug mode.

      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.
