The Construction and Use of C++ Algorithms

https://www.twitch.tv/mucplusplus/

This month we have the pleasure to welcome Ben Deane to our user group. Ben was a game programmer for over 20 years, working in C++ since the late 90s for companies like EA and Blizzard. In 2018 he left the games industry to join Quantlab, an automated trading firm, where he writes modern, well-performing C++. He likes to play with algorithms, and to make the type system work for him, and he’s always looking for useful new techniques. Ben is the presenter of several previous C++Now and CppCon talks.

---------------------------
Abstract: How should we apply the advice "no raw loops"? This talk examines how to use existing algorithms, and how to build our own.

We'll highlight principles of C++ algorithm construction by starting with a raw loop and transforming it into a generic algorithm capable of supporting a wide variety of use cases without loss of expressivity or efficiency.

We'll also take a look at some non-obvious uses of the standard algorithms, including some minor modifications or wrappings that give us extra flexibility.
