Control Structures in C++: Range-based for Loops
Lesson Objectives
Control Structures in C++: Range-based for Loops
- discover the key concepts covered in this course
- iterate over arrays using for loops
- create string arrays and use break and continue
- create multidimensional arrays and iterate over them
- recall the offerings of the standard template library
- access out-of-bound elements and create iterators
- search for an element in a vector through templates
- use the cend(), rend(), and crend() functions
- build and debug code
- debug code using a build
- walk through code using a debugger
- contrast strings and string references
- use maps and range-based for loops
- summarize the key concepts covered in this course
Overview/Description
One of the many differences between modern C++ and classic C++ is the presence of range-based for loops. These were added to the standard in C++11 and allow for loops to iterate easily over a container and reduce the risk of off-by-one errors. They also eliminate the need for an integer index variable to index into a container. Start this course by reviewing how for loops work to iterate over arrays. Create arrays with different numbers of dimensions and iterate over the dimensions using nested for loops. Discover how to use containers from the standard template library to experiment with maps and vectors. Explore the use of the cbegin(), cend(), rbegin(), rend(), crbegin(), and crend() functions. Finally, use range-based for loops and explore the use of the debugger in this context. You will also note the important differences between value type loop variables in for loops and reference type variables.

Overview/Description
Control structures in C++ are syntactically very similar to those in C, but with some important differences. This course will help you learn to use control structures in C++ and better understand how they differ from those in C. You will start this course by going over the control structures available in C++. You will then move on to working with vectors and iterators over vectors, which are important parts of the standard template library. Finally, you will work with switch statements and learn some tips and tricks related to working with cases based on strings. Upon completion, you'll be able to use variables in the condition of an if-block to restrict its scope, and use switch statements with hash functions and the STL map object to switch based on the values of a string.
