Hope you guys enjoyed the video! A few notes: - to be clear, each program/process on our computer has its own stack/heap - each thread will create its own stack when it gets created, whereas the heap is shared amongst all threads
So if your program is using multiple threads and there is memory which is created by one thread and needs to be read by another, for example, this memory would need to be allocated on the heap?
Yes. But that is really not good practice. When one thread is using something in heap allocated memory it has to lock the access to that memory until it doesn't need it anymore. So you really need to avoid using shared resources when using multiple threads. Threads are meant to do their own thing independent from other threads. You can use it to keep to keep track of like progress of all threads but continous access to resource is performance hit.
Objects like Enemies in a game should always be created on the heap right? Are the variables of this object then also on the heap or will they be on the stack?
the variables inside the object are created inside the object's "memory space". So if you have an Enemy with an x and a y, it will allocate 8 bytes (2 ints = 2 * 4 bytes) and store the x and y in that space.
I honestly fucking hate it when people make 'you taught better in 15 mins than my university was able to in 4 years' comments on these videos. Like bitch please it doesn't take 4 years to learn these you just haven't been paying attention

I’m a Software Engineer, and my first SWE position was as a C++ developer which I learned predominantly from Cherno. I have an EE education, but I learned more from Cherno watching UA-cam than I did in my Intro to C++ and Data Structures and Algorithms in C++ sequence in college. The Cherno is legit folks, but if you really wanna learn, you gotta start at the beginning of the playlist and go straight through watching EVERY VIDEO and coding along. C++ can be a frustrating language to learn, but if you learn C++ first, it’s cake learning ALL OTHER C-like languages. You’re the man Cherno!
I like how you show why something is “expensive” or not very optimal instead of just saying it. You actually open the memory view or disassembly which is super useful! Thanks for the videos, they’re amazing!
*My takeaways:* 1. Both stack and heap memory are in RAM 0:47 2. How to allocate stack and heap memory 2:55 3. Stack memory allocation *stacks* data in the memory *in a row* and it is very fast 4:45 4. Heap memory allocation doesn't 7:49 5.

Its been 5 years since you uploaded and still it is one of the BEST video on the internet. Yours is a C++ Goldmine. could you please talk about your learning pedagogy of new things and especially C++. How did you gain so much clarity ?
This is by far the most complete lecture/tutorial whatever, I have seen in a very long time (possibly ever). You explained everything very clearly, demonstrated and tested them, yet did that all in 20 minutes. I am honestly surprised that this video doesn't have hundreds of thousands of views because you deserve that. Wish you the best!
For all C# developers: "new" does not mean, that it will be allocated on the Heap (for C# program) MyClass c = new MyClass(); // Allocated on the Heap MyStruct s = new MyStruct(); // Allocated on the Stack (in most cases) That doesn't mean that structs are ALWAYS allocated on the Stack! Just most of the times. It depends. Read about "stackalloc" keyword and about "Span" and "ReadOnlySpan". They are great!
Thanks! One thing worth mentioning: We use heap for allocation during runtime and stack for allocation during compile time. It was mentioned somewhat in the video but I think it should be more emphasized.
hey cherno, your explanation of stack vs heap is amazing, no other youtube has evern been able to explain like this. ive come across heap and stack so many times but never got to really understand untill i watched your video today. thanky you so much!
Keystrokes would have been an absolute godsent in this. I know IDE use isn't the topic of such an essential instructional video, but you're doing so much basic stuff that it would be really easy to follow along with both the theory and the mechanics of writing and moving around your code that one might want to set up and get used to.
Oh boy! I found a C++ video from you and now I'm stuck with video recommendations of your series. I appreciate that, but it's 22:30 and I wanna sleep... Seems like I wont
This is A+ content. For someone trying to learn to code there is a lot here and I will be re-watching this a couple of times and playing with the memory view in Visual Studio. Thanks.
The stuff that I learned in this one single video is actually insane. like, I knew about most of the stuff that he said, but since all of it was taught to me over various courses, and bits and pieces at a time, I never really could figure out how it all fit in together...This such a wonderful explanation!! All of it is starting to kind of make sense now....damn lol
Great video! Heap memory is a really complex topic.... It took me a long time to figure out how it works when I was writing my own memory manager! Thanks a lot for this!😃
MAGISTER DIXIT...! I am no programmer but I have had basic lessons in C almost 30 years ago and now I am strugling to master at least the basics of C#, which I find sometimes a bit confusing and with a lot of rules. Sometimes I get some comfort watching basic C ++ videos, especially those that are very well explained and that go right to the point like yours.
Hi Cherno, nice explanation. Probably main point is not covered here. 1. Each function has its own stack area and not shared with other functions. Whereas heap is shared among all functions(within a thread as you said in a comment). 2. main use of heap is to allocate memory for pointer that is accessed across the functions. because once the functions scope is over, all stack variables are deallocated.
This was a very interesting video. Please, make more videos about the way C++ works. I am looking forward to seeing your video about CPU cache optimisation. Thank you, Cherno, love your vids.
This was a really helpful video, thank you SO much. I appreciate that you show WHY the dynamic memory operations are more expensive and how it can be a performance boost to use the stack. So essentially, if you want something to have a longer lifetime, or if it's of a large size, then it's worth using the Heap, but if you're making a small simple variable that won't exist for a long time, it makes more sense to just use the stack, yeah?
Hi Cherno, Could you maybe take a video about exceptions, and why you don't like them, how to avoid them and best practices. Also a good topic to talk about is unit testing and do you write tests in parallel with your development. Thanks for everything your doing here.
This is the first video I've watched and I wanted to say - Really well done! Such a top notch explanation. I'm subscribing for sure. Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos
I love how I get a good in depth explanation of stack & heap. Dare I say better explained than my proff. And at the end of the video I go. Wow! I have the same couch!
Cherno, your tutorials are always great. I love that you pay attention to what you say. You always choose your words so that YOUR AUDIENCE understands what you say, and not so that you make sense to yourself. Thank you for the good work and congratulations. I am sure when you become worldwide famous these videos will get a lot more views. I have a question for you: How did you get to point that you know the material well enough to teach it? Who/What is **your** teacher? Other than sporadically making google searches and stumbling on documentation pages, do you regularly read books on C++? Do you constantly take classes? Do you continuously engage in competitions that keep your edge sharpe? How are you so good? I am not asking how are you productive. I just wander how do you keep this volume of knowledge in your head in such an order that becomes transferable to others. If I don't refresh something for a month (give or take) I surely forget it ... xD
@@nobytes2 I believe he's not asking for a magic formula. He wants to know the materials / instructors / methods The Cherno uses to learn and retain the vast amount of comp sci knowledge he teaches us. Practice and experience is correct, but *how* does he practice? Is it through competitions, work, reading books, classes, etc. Hope this helps
i have been programming c++ for almost 7 years now , what makes you unique among other youtube channels or tutorials is that you are really so deep in learning and teaching the concepts . keep going man you are awesom !
Hi, you could make a video explaining your way of structuring C++ projects: the way you separate your headers from source files, the way you organize your includes (precompiled header stdafx.h vs #ifndef guards), etc. What do you think? You're doing a great work, I've been learning a lot in your channel! Thanks!

Thanks @cherno for making these videos. Few follow-up Qs: 1. How many CPU cycles does Heap allocation take for each of the examples you talked about in the video above? 2. Can you start a series on OS basics like different types of memory, how it all works at the OS level etc. Thanks! :)
This video is really easy to understand!! I didn't know that allocating memory in heap is such a heavy work, and didn't know why it's heavy. You showed me the way to ensure the reason, looking into the assembly code. I'm gonna consider using Visual Studio...
One case for allocating memory on the heap is when one doesn’t know the size of data at compile time. STL containers are actually allocated on the heap internally because they grow in size dynamically when the preallocated size is not enough. So if you declare a vector on the stack, it is actually using the heap.
Great explanation. But I think we're missing an important difference between stack and heap memory. The size of stack memory to allocate is set at compile time whereas the size of heap memory is may be set in run time. Stack memory is more easy to manage and heap memory is more flexible (and maybe more efficient since actually may allocate just as much memory as you need when actually running your program).
Pal, thanks a lot! It is like putting me in a new dimension with my coding! Now I have a vague idea why my projects work the way they do! Coming from Python/C# background this video is an eye opener! EDIT: Typo.
Thanks Cherno ! I was wondering if sometime you could dive into Windows Forms Applications using Visual C++ :-). I'm really enjoying your tutorials man !
Neil Tsakatsa Don’t think that we will ever use this api same with WinForms you probably should look at C++/Winrt wich is more native than the CLR version wich has an ugly syntax and is very slow compared to Nativ C++.
@Artem Katerynych In the example he used int value; and int *hvalue; both exist on the stack while the value of int *hvalue exist on the heap.. That is from what I understand him saying.
