C++ templates

C++ templates are set at compile time not runtime like C#, java

//returns max of two values
template <class T>
T max(T& t1, T& t2){
    return t1 < t2 ? t2 : t1;
}

overload operators in c++ often
instead creating a Add() overload + and or +=

in a class f you don't specify the default is private in a struct the default is public

C++ style guide
https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html

enum e_acomany { 
	Audi,
	BMW, 
	Cadillac, 
	Ford,
	Jaguar, 
	Lexus 
	Maybach, 
	RollsRoyce, 
	Saab
};
e_acompany my_car_brand;
my_car_brand = RollsRoyce; // notice you don't do e_acomany. so decorate the enum name around the member 
 
if (my_car_brand == Ford) 
	cout << "Hello, Ford-car owner!" << endl;
  
  
 
 

cons of manual memory management
-delete twice - error
-never delete - memory leak

• delete to soon - app blows up when someone tries to use it
