Hello C++ programmers. Today we have new modern C++ examples that can be compiled by any C++ Code Editor and compiler. If you want to dive deep into C++ programming, then the LearnCPlusPlus website is the right place for you. We keep adding more features of modern C++ and how to get the best use out of RAD Studio and C++ Builder. If you want to improve your C++ skills, we have a rich treasure chest of posts already on LearnCPlusPlus.org and we aim to build on that wonderful resource in 2023. We should note that most of the C/C++ examples are compatible with many C and C++ compilers.
Every week on this main Embarcadero blog we like to give you a selection of recent C++ and C topics from the LearnCPlusPlus.org website. We also try to answer all the questions about the business of writing C++ code you might have, so please ask in the comments section below if you would like to see any specific topics covered.
We have posts for those just starting out on the path to becoming proficient in the C++ and C languages to make LearnCPlusPlus.org a truly useful reference site for C and C++ programmers no matter their skill level.
What are the modern features of C++ programming we have today?
One of the most useful libraries is packed in Boost C++ Libraries. which is a set of C++ libraries that contains 164 individual libraries (as of version 1.76) that significantly expand the C++ programming language using template metaprogramming. In the first article, we explain how you can use boost libraries in C++.
In C++, the STL Standard Template Library has many algorithms for operations like searching, counting, and manipulation of ranges and their elements. In one of our posts you can learn a C++ feature called std::map where you can map pair elements with an appropriate C++ IDE and compiler. One of its powerful modifiers of std::map is insert(). In another article, we will explain how to use the C++ std::map insert() function.
In computer hardware and software, a ‘bit’ is the smallest unit of data, and as programmers, we use them in every single character of our code lines and more. A std::bitset is a modern feature to use to manipulate a set of bits in C++. In another article, we explain what a bit is and how you can use std::bitset in modern C++.
Finally today, one of the most used and very useful things in C++ is std::vector. If you know arrays in C such as std::array, then vectors are a modern and very flexible form of arrays in C++, in some ways they are like modern linked lists. If you want to use arrays there is also std:::array. In the final article, we describe the differences between std::vector and std::array in C++.
In our round-up post this week, we explain all above. Here are the topics today:
- What Are The Boost C++ Libraries?
- This Is How To Use std::map In Modern C++
- How To Use Insert In std::map In Modern C++
- Learn Bits and How To Use std::bitset In C++
- What Are The Differences Between Vector And Array In C++?

Learn with examples about modern features of C++ programming in this week
LearnCPlusPlus.org has been around for 2 years now and is packed full of educational posts about C and C++. Here’s a few recent, simple posts designed to teach you a single basic skill or feature of C or C++ in a nice bite-sized chunk of knowledge.
We like to hear your feedback. You motivate us so much with your likes and comments on social media and here. Thank you for your valuable comments and questions. All of them help improve the quality of our future posts and new code in these posts.
We have a lot of unique posts waiting to come. We keep adding new topics every week about C++ in general and specific topics for C++ Builder, Dev-C++, and for the other C++ compilers. Please keep following our LearnCPlusPlus.org website for the latest posts and updates. Feel free to comment and share with your colleagues, students, members – knowledge is power, and knowledge shared is empowering.
C++ Builder is the easiest and fastest C and C++ IDE for building simple or professional applications on the Windows, MacOS, iOS & Android operating systems. It is also easy for beginners to learn with its wide range of samples, tutorials, help files, and LSP support for code. RAD Studio’s C++ Builder version comes with the award-winning VCL framework for high-performance native Windows apps and the powerful FireMonkey (FMX) framework for cross-platform UIs.
There is a free C++ Builder Community Edition for students, beginners, and startups; it can be downloaded from here. For professional developers, there are Professional, Architect, or Enterprise version.
