Standard Sytemtypes and their range Nullpointer Basic Operators

int8_t -128 to 127 int* pInt; + addition

uint8_t 0 to 255 //old, deprecated: - subtraction

if(pInt == NULL)
int16_t -32768 to 32767 * multiplication
//new:
uint16_t 0 to 65535 if(pInt == nullptr) / division

int32_t -2147483648 to 2147483647 //still valid: % modulo

if(!pInt)
uint32_t 0 to 4294967295 ++var increase before

int64_t -9.2 * 1018 to 9.2 * 1018 evaluation

Bitwise Operators
uint64_t 0 to 1.8 * 1019 var++ increase after
& Bitwise AND evaluation
| Bitwise OR condition ? result : short form of if-like
Literals & Co.
^ Bitwise XOR alternative; structure
255 Integer
~ Bitwise NOT :: Scope Operator
0xaf Hexadecimal Integer
<< Shift left -> pointer-to-member
1234.0 double
>> Shift right . Access member
234.243f float
<< >> Bitshift(with streams:
true bool input/output)
Boolean Logic
"Hello World" string/c-string
== Test of equality
'a' char Pointers: Quick and dirty
!= Test of non-equality
& Gets RAM adress of Variable(to save
< Less than
Preprocessor into pointer)
> Greater than
#include Includes standard header file * Dereferences pointer(returns its
<LIB> LIB <= Less than or equal content) or defines a variable to be a

#include Includes Header.h file >= Greater than or equal pointer

"Header.h" ! NOT -> Access pointer class member. same

as (*pointer).member()
#define PI Defines Easy Macro && AND
3.14159265359 new Create new object on heap, returns
|| OR
#define f(a,b) More Complex Macro pointer to object
Boolean expressions in C++ are evaluated left-
a+b delete Remove object at the pointer on heap
to-right!
#undef PI Remove Definition Pointers allocate space on heap, normal
#ifdef PI Checks for definition, if true, variables on stack!
code will be compiled

#else Else part of the above if-

statement

#endif Ends the if-statement

using replaces typedef Range based loops

//typedef is deprecated //Easy range based loop:

typedef uint32_t uint32; std::vector<int> vec = .....;
//now: using directive! for(int i : vec) //foreach i in vec
//using identifier = type_name; //Same with auto:
using uint32 = uint32_t; const auto vi = ....;
for(auto i : vi)
Auto Datatype Works with all Containers with begin() and
//auto is an automatic datatype: end()
int x = 4; //equals:
auto y = 4;
//works for most cases, esp. STL:
for(std::vector<int>::Iterator it = v.begin().....)
//with auto:
for(auto it = v.begin; it != v.end(); ++it)

Compile-time assertion check

static assert(bool_constexpr, string)

Multithreading

//Thread Creation & Management:

void thread_func(int a)
{
std::cout << "My Number is: " << a;
}
main()
{
std::thread t1(thread_func(1));
t1.join();
}
//Synchronization via:
std::mutex.lock();
std::mutex.unlock();
