C++ Fundamentals

To compensate for my lack of care when initially understanding coding languages (such as Java and C) in the past, I aim to use learncpp as a tool to cover a programming language in detail.

C++ was chosen under the following criteria:

1. there are several similar, and popular, languages such as C, C# and Java
2. there is plenty of documentation and educational resources
3. it's a compiled language that can have low latency
4. it's relationship with many hardware components (drivers, FPGAs, etc.)

Methodology

Firstly, I will read and note each chapter summary. Once a given chapter summary is copied, I will work through the chapter, adding to the summary where I feel is necessary. In this step, I may produce additional documents or pieces of code, which shall be stored in a corresponding folder for future reference.

Chapter Summaries

For convenience, chapter summaries can be accessed below:
Chapter 1 - Basic Syntax
Chapter 2 - Functions and Files
Chapter 3 - Debugging
Chapter 4 - Fundamental Data Types
Chapter 5 - Constants and Strings

Chapter 8 - Control Flow
Chapter 9 - Assertions and Error Handling
Chapter 10 - Type Conversions, Aliases and Deduction
Chapter 11: Function Overloading and Templates
Chapter F: constexpr and consteval

The following are incomplete:
