Hello C++ Developers, this week is another milestone for the C++, the latest RAD Studio, C++ Builder 11.3 has been released. This release is focused on quality and improvements. In C+ Builder, code compilation is highly improved in RAD Studio 11.1.5 and 11.2 and there are many more improvements and a whole raft of bug fixes in 11.3 which go into making this a good choice of modern C++ compiler and IDE.
In today’s round-up post have examples discussing the hot topic of GPT-3 AI, more on template parameters, and some very basic easy beginner’s examples showing how to use the keyboard in C++. If you want to dive deep into C++ Programming, then the LearnCPlusPlus.org 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 and diverse reference library of posts already on LearnCPlusPlus.org and we aim to continue building on that wonderful resource in 2023. Note that most of the C/C++ examples are compatible with many C and C++ compilers.

Learn what’s new in RAD Studio, C++ Builder 11.3
Embarcadero announced the release of RAD Studio 11 Alexandria Release 3, also known as RAD Studio 11.3, along with Delphi 11.3 and C++Builder 11.3. This release is focused on quality and improvements, building on the great new features in RAD Studio 11 Alexandria three previous releases.
Here is an official webinar replay about What is New in RAD Studio 11.3 Alexandria,
How can we use GPT-3 AI and template in C++ language?
AI based software and hardware technology is rapidly increasing. It seems every day we see new developments or new announcements of products which incorporate some form of AI-driven technology. One of the great leaps of recent years is we have seen a rise in more logical AI chat applications which are based on NLP, ML, and DL mechanisms.
There are many AI tools that provide APIs or interfaces that can be used to develop an app with AI features controlled and powered by a programming language like C, C++, Delphi, or Python. In the first article, Learn How to Integrate GPT-3 API in C++, we explain how you can use GPT-3 API in C++ Builder.
What are templates in C++ and how can we use them?
One of the great features of modern C++ is the ability to define templates. Templates are one of the most important techniques for you to learn, since it’s really only with knowledge of templates that you can claim to understand C++. So much of C++, including the standard library that you use every day as a C++ programmer, is built around the use of templates, and it’s very useful to be able to write them yourself too.
We have written a whole series of articles which explore and explain C++ templates in depth. You can find all of them using this dynamic search: https://learncplusplus.org/?s=templates
For today’s selection we’ve one particular C++ template article where we explain what typename means and how you can use the feature with templates in C++ – Learn What Is Typename Or Type Name In C++
What other beginner C++ articles are there?
The C++ language is an evolved version of the C language. One of the C-based features is the typedef specifier. While there is a type alias in C++ typedef is still a strong feature which allows us to create abbreviations for long types. In the next article, we explain how to use typedef in C++ – What Is typedef In C++.
We also discuss at a very basic level a C++ Game Engine and some of the many ways to detect when a user presses a key in Learn How To Detect And Use Key Presses In C++ On Windows as well as in the article Learn How To Use Keyboard Arrows In C++ On Windows. These are really for absolute beginners, but the principles of drawing 2d and 3d objects and reacting to keypresses are really the foundation on which everything can be built.

LearnCPlusPlus.org has been producing daily articles for more than 2 years at the time of writing and is packed full of educational posts about C and C++. Here are our post picks for today.
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.
