C++17 vs C++20 – Key Feature Differences

C++17 vs C++20: Top 5 Modern Features Compared (with Examples) C++17 vs C++20: Top 5 Modern Features Compared (with Examples) Are you transitioning from C++17 to C++20 or working on mixed codebases? Here are the 5 most important feature differences you need to know, with simple examples : 1. Structured Bindings (C++17) vs Designated Initializers (C++20) std::pair<int, std::string> p = {1, "apple"}; auto [id, name] = p; struct Fruit { int id; std::string name; }; Fruit f = {.name = "apple", .id = 1}; 2. if constexpr (C++17) vs Concepts (C++20) template<typename T> void print_type(T value) { if constexpr (std::is_integral_v<T>) { std::cout << "Integer: " << value << "\n"; } else { std::cout << "Other: " << value << "\n"; } } template<std::integral T> void print_integral(T value) { std::cout << ...

Top 5 Modern C++ Features I Use in Real Projects

Top 5 Modern C++ Features I Use in Real Projects (And Why) C++ has come a long way — from raw pointers and manual memory management to smart pointers, auto , and std::optional . But in real-world projects, especially in embedded or freelance environments, we don’t always get to use the latest standard. Still, when I can, these 5 modern C++ features make my code safer, cleaner, and easier to maintain . 1. auto for Type Inference auto it = myMap.begin(); Why I use it: Avoids redundant typing. Cleaner, especially with complex STL types. Caution: Don’t overuse it — make sure types remain readable. 2. std::optional (C++17) std::optional<int> getValue(bool valid) { if (valid) return 42; return std::nullopt; } Why I use it: Eliminates magic return values like -1 or null pointers. Use case: Embedded menu systems, sensor values, config parsing. 3. Lambdas std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), [](auto a, auto b) { return a.value < b.value; }); Why...
