+//////////////////
+// Сравнение с C
+//////////////////
+
+// C++ практически представляет собой надмножество C и имеет схожий синтаксис
+// для объявления переменных, примитивов и функций.
+
+// Также как и в С, точкой входа в программу является функция с именем main,
+// которая возвращает целочисленное значение.
+// Это значение является кодом ответа программы.
+// Смотрите https://goo.gl/JYGKyv для более подробной информации.
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+ // Аргументы командной строки переданные в программу хранятся в переменных
+ // argc и argv, также как и в C.
+ // argc указывает на количество аргументов,
+ // а argv является масивом C-подобных строк (char*), который непосредсвенно
+ // содержит аргументы.
+ // Первым аргументом всегда передается имя программы.
+ // argc и argv могут быть опущены если вы не планируете работать с аругментамы
+ // коммандной строки.
+ // Тогда сигнатура функции будет иметь следующий вид int main()
+
+ // Возвращаемое значение 0 указывает на успешное завершение программы.
+ return 0;
+}
+
+// Тем не менее, C++ имеет свои отличия:
+
+// В C++, символьные литералы являются символами.
+sizeof('c') == sizeof(char) == 1
+
+// В С, символьные литералы - целые числа.
+sizeof('c') == sizeof(int)
+
+
+// C++ имеет строго прототипирование.
+void func(); // функция, которая не принимает аргументов.
+
+// In C
+void func(); // функция, которая может принять сколько угодно аргументов.
+
+// Использование nullptr вместо NULL в C++.

+
+/////////////
+// References
+/////////////
+
+// In addition to pointers like the ones in C,
+// C++ has _references_.
+// These are pointer types that cannot be reassigned once set
+// and cannot be null.
+// They also have the same syntax as the variable itself:
+// No * is needed for dereferencing and
+// & (address of) is not used for assignment.
+
+using namespace std;
+
+string foo = "I am foo";
+string bar = "I am bar";
+
+
+string& fooRef = foo; // This creates a reference to foo.
+fooRef += ". Hi!"; // Modifies foo through the reference
+cout << fooRef; // Prints "I am foo. Hi!"
+
+// Doesn't reassign "fooRef". This is the same as "foo = bar", and
+// foo == "I am bar"
+// after this line.
+cout << &fooRef << endl; //Prints the address of foo
+fooRef = bar;
+cout << &fooRef << endl; //Still prints the address of foo
+cout << fooRef; // Prints "I am bar"
+
+//The address of fooRef remains the same, i.e. it is still referring to foo.
+
+
+const string& barRef = bar; // Create a const reference to bar.
+// Like C, const values (and pointers and references) cannot be modified.
+barRef += ". Hi!"; // Error, const references cannot be modified.
+
+// Sidetrack: Before we talk more about references, we must introduce a concept
+// called a temporary object. Suppose we have the following code:
+string tempObjectFun() { ... }
+string retVal = tempObjectFun();
+
+// What happens in the second line is actually:
+// - a string object is returned from tempObjectFun
+// - a new string is constructed with the returned object as argument to the
+// constructor
+// - the returned object is destroyed
+// The returned object is called a temporary object. Temporary objects are
+// created whenever a function returns an object, and they are destroyed at the
+// end of the evaluation of the enclosing expression (Well, this is what the
+// standard says, but compilers are allowed to change this behavior. Look up
+// "return value optimization" if you're into this kind of details). So in this
+// code:
+foo(bar(tempObjectFun()))
+
+// assuming foo and bar exist, the object returned from tempObjectFun is
+// passed to bar, and it is destroyed before foo is called.
+
+// Now back to references. The exception to the "at the end of the enclosing
+// expression" rule is if a temporary object is bound to a const reference, in
+// which case its life gets extended to the current scope:
+
+void constReferenceTempObjectFun() {
+ // constRef gets the temporary object, and it is valid until the end of this
+ // function.
+ const string& constRef = tempObjectFun();
+ ...
+}
+
+// Another kind of reference introduced in C++11 is specifically for temporary
+// objects. You cannot have a variable of its type, but it takes precedence in
+// overload resolution:
+
+void someFun(string& s) { ... } // Regular reference
+void someFun(string&& s) { ... } // Reference to temporary object
+
+string foo;
+someFun(foo); // Calls the version with regular reference
+someFun(tempObjectFun()); // Calls the version with temporary reference
+
+// For example, you will see these two versions of constructors for
+// std::basic_string:
+basic_string(const basic_string& other);
+basic_string(basic_string&& other);
+
+// Idea being if we are constructing a new string from a temporary object (which
+// is going to be destroyed soon anyway), we can have a more efficient
+// constructor that "salvages" parts of that temporary string. You will see this
+// concept referred to as "move semantics".

+// Enums
+/////////////////////
+
+// Enums are a way to assign a value to a constant most commonly used for

+
+void WritePreferredCarTypeToFile(ECarTypes InputCarType)
+{
+ // The enum is implicitly converted to a uint8_t due to its declared enum type
+ WriteByteToFile(InputCarType);
+}
+
+// On the other hand you may not want enums to be accidentally cast to an integer
+// type or to other enums so it is instead possible to create an enum class which
+// won't be implicitly converted
+enum class ECarTypes : uint8_t
+{
+ Sedan, // 0

+//////////////////////////////////////////
+// Classes and object-oriented programming
+//////////////////////////////////////////
+
+// First example of classes
+#include <iostream>
+
+// Declare a class.
+// Classes are usually declared in header (.h or .hpp) files.
+class Dog {
+ // Member variables and functions are private by default.
+ std::string name;

+
+// All members following this are public
+// until "private:" or "protected:" is found.
+public:
+
+ // Default constructor
+ Dog();
+
+ // Member function declarations (implementations to follow)
+ // Note that we use std::string here instead of placing
+ // using namespace std;
+ // above.
+ // Never put a "using namespace" statement in a header.
+ void setName(const std::string& dogsName);
+
+ void setWeight(int dogsWeight);
+
+ // Functions that do not modify the state of the object
+ // should be marked as const.
+ // This allows you to call them if given a const reference to the object.
+ // Also note the functions must be explicitly declared as _virtual_
+ // in order to be overridden in derived classes.
+ // Functions are not virtual by default for performance reasons.
+ virtual void print() const;
+
+ // Functions can also be defined inside the class body.
+ // Functions defined as such are automatically inlined.
+ void bark() const { std::cout << name << " barks!\n"; }
+
+ // Along with constructors, C++ provides destructors.
+ // These are called when an object is deleted or falls out of scope.
+ // This enables powerful paradigms such as RAII
+ // (see below)
+ // The destructor should be virtual if a class is to be derived from;
+ // if it is not virtual, then the derived class' destructor will
+ // not be called if the object is destroyed through a base-class reference
+ // or pointer.
+ virtual ~Dog();
+
+}; // A semicolon must follow the class definition.
+
+// Class member functions are usually implemented in .cpp files.
+Dog::Dog()
+{
+ std::cout << "A dog has been constructed\n";
+}
+
+// Objects (such as strings) should be passed by reference
+// if you are modifying them or const reference if you are not.
+void Dog::setName(const std::string& dogsName)
+{
+ name = dogsName;
+}
+
+void Dog::setWeight(int dogsWeight)
+{
+ weight = dogsWeight;
+}
+
+// Notice that "virtual" is only needed in the declaration, not the definition.
+void Dog::print() const
+{

+}
+
+Dog::~Dog()

+ myDog.setName("Barkley");
+ myDog.setWeight(10);
+ myDog.print(); // prints "Dog is Barkley and weighs 10 kg"
+ return 0;
+} // prints "Goodbye Barkley"
+
+// Inheritance:
+
+// This class inherits everything public and protected from the Dog class
+// as well as private but may not directly access private members/methods
+// without a public or protected method for doing so
+class OwnedDog : public Dog {
+
+ void setOwner(const std::string& dogsOwner);
+
+ // Override the behavior of the print function for all OwnedDogs. See
+ // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_(computer_science)#Subtyping

+}
+
+//////////////////////////////////////////
+// Initialization and Operator Overloading
+//////////////////////////////////////////
+
+// In C++ you can overload the behavior of operators such as +, -, *, /, etc.
+// This is done by defining a function which is called
+// whenever the operator is used.
+
+#include <iostream>
+using namespace std;
+
+class Point {
+public:
+ // Member variables can be given default values in this manner.
+ double x = 0;
+ double y = 0;
+
+ // Define a default constructor which does nothing
+ // but initialize the Point to the default value (0, 0)
+ Point() { };
+
+ // The following syntax is known as an initialization list
+ // and is the proper way to initialize class member values
+ Point (double a, double b) :
+ x(a),
+ y(b)
+ { /* Do nothing except initialize the values */ }
+
+ // Overload the + operator.
+ Point operator+(const Point& rhs) const;
+
+ // Overload the += operator
+ Point& operator+=(const Point& rhs);
+
+ // It would also make sense to add the - and -= operators,
+ // but we will skip those for brevity.
+};
+
+Point Point::operator+(const Point& rhs) const
+{
+ // Create a new point that is the sum of this one and rhs.
+ return Point(x + rhs.x, y + rhs.y);
+}
+
+Point& Point::operator+=(const Point& rhs)
+{
+ x += rhs.x;
+ y += rhs.y;
+ return *this;
+}
+
+int main () {
+ Point up (0,1);
+ Point right (1,0);
+ // This calls the Point + operator
+ // Point up calls the + (function) with right as its parameter
+ Point result = up + right;
+ // Prints "Result is upright (1,1)"
+ cout << "Result is upright (" << result.x << ',' << result.y << ")\n";
+ return 0;
+}
+
+/////////////////////
+// Templates
+/////////////////////
+
+// Templates in C++ are mostly used for generic programming, though they are
+// much more powerful than generic constructs in other languages. They also
+// support explicit and partial specialization and functional-style type
+// classes; in fact, they are a Turing-complete functional language embedded
+// in C++!
+
+// We start with the kind of generic programming you might be familiar with. To
+// define a class or function that takes a type parameter:
+template<class T>
+class Box {
+public:
+ // In this class, T can be used as any other type.
+ void insert(const T&) { ... }
+};
+
+// During compilation, the compiler actually generates copies of each template
+// with parameters substituted, so the full definition of the class must be
+// present at each invocation. This is why you will see template classes defined
+// entirely in header files.
+
+// To instantiate a template class on the stack:
+Box<int> intBox;
+
+// and you can use it as you would expect:
+intBox.insert(123);
+
+// You can, of course, nest templates:
+Box<Box<int> > boxOfBox;
+boxOfBox.insert(intBox);
+
+// Until C++11, you had to place a space between the two '>'s, otherwise '>>'
+// would be parsed as the right shift operator.
+
+// You will sometimes see
+// template<typename T>
+// instead. The 'class' keyword and 'typename' keywords are _mostly_
+// interchangeable in this case. For the full explanation, see
+// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typename
+// (yes, that keyword has its own Wikipedia page).
+
+// Similarly, a template function:
+template<class T>
+void barkThreeTimes(const T& input)
+{
+ input.bark();
+ input.bark();
+ input.bark();
+}
+
+// Notice that nothing is specified about the type parameters here. The compiler
+// will generate and then type-check every invocation of the template, so the
+// above function works with any type 'T' that has a const 'bark' method!
+
+Dog fluffy;
+fluffy.setName("Fluffy")
+barkThreeTimes(fluffy); // Prints "Fluffy barks" three times.
+
+// Template parameters don't have to be classes:
+template<int Y>
+void printMessage() {
+ cout << "Learn C++ in " << Y << " minutes!" << endl;
+}
+
+// And you can explicitly specialize templates for more efficient code. Of
+// course, most real-world uses of specialization are not as trivial as this.
+// Note that you still need to declare the function (or class) as a template
+// even if you explicitly specified all parameters.
+template<>
+void printMessage<10>() {
+ cout << "Learn C++ faster in only 10 minutes!" << endl;
+}
+
+printMessage<20>(); // Prints "Learn C++ in 20 minutes!"
+printMessage<10>(); // Prints "Learn C++ faster in only 10 minutes!"
+
+
+/////////////////////
+// Exception Handling
+/////////////////////
+
+// The standard library provides a few exception types
+// (see http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/exception)
+// but any type can be thrown an as exception
+#include <exception>
+#include <stdexcept>
+
+// All exceptions thrown inside the _try_ block can be caught by subsequent
+// _catch_ handlers.
+try {
+ // Do not allocate exceptions on the heap using _new_.
+ throw std::runtime_error("A problem occurred");
+}
+
+// Catch exceptions by const reference if they are objects
+catch (const std::exception& ex)
+{
+ std::cout << ex.what();
+}
+
+// Catches any exception not caught by previous _catch_ blocks
+catch (...)
+{
+ std::cout << "Unknown exception caught";
+ throw; // Re-throws the exception
+}
+
+///////
+// RAII
+///////
+
+// RAII stands for "Resource Acquisition Is Initialization".
+// It is often considered the most powerful paradigm in C++
+// and is the simple concept that a constructor for an object
+// acquires that object's resources and the destructor releases them.
+
+// To understand how this is useful,
+// consider a function that uses a C file handle:
+void doSomethingWithAFile(const char* filename)
+{
+ // To begin with, assume nothing can fail.
+
+ FILE* fh = fopen(filename, "r"); // Open the file in read mode.
+
+ doSomethingWithTheFile(fh);
+ doSomethingElseWithIt(fh);
+
+ fclose(fh); // Close the file handle.
+}
+
+// Unfortunately, things are quickly complicated by error handling.
+// Suppose fopen can fail, and that doSomethingWithTheFile and
+// doSomethingElseWithIt return error codes if they fail.
+// (Exceptions are the preferred way of handling failure,
+// but some programmers, especially those with a C background,
+// disagree on the utility of exceptions).
+// We now have to check each call for failure and close the file handle
+// if a problem occurred.
+bool doSomethingWithAFile(const char* filename)
+{
+ FILE* fh = fopen(filename, "r"); // Open the file in read mode
+ if (fh == nullptr) // The returned pointer is null on failure.
+ return false; // Report that failure to the caller.
+
+ // Assume each function returns false if it failed
+ if (!doSomethingWithTheFile(fh)) {
+ fclose(fh); // Close the file handle so it doesn't leak.
+ return false; // Propagate the error.
+ }
+ if (!doSomethingElseWithIt(fh)) {
+ fclose(fh); // Close the file handle so it doesn't leak.
+ return false; // Propagate the error.
+ }
+
+ fclose(fh); // Close the file handle so it doesn't leak.
+ return true; // Indicate success
+}
+
+// C programmers often clean this up a little bit using goto:
+bool doSomethingWithAFile(const char* filename)
+{
+ FILE* fh = fopen(filename, "r");
+ if (fh == nullptr)
+ return false;
+
+ if (!doSomethingWithTheFile(fh))
+ goto failure;
+
+ if (!doSomethingElseWithIt(fh))
+ goto failure;
+
+ fclose(fh); // Close the file
+ return true; // Indicate success
+
+failure:
+ fclose(fh);
+ return false; // Propagate the error
+}
+
+// If the functions indicate errors using exceptions,
+// things are a little cleaner, but still sub-optimal.
+void doSomethingWithAFile(const char* filename)
+{
+ FILE* fh = fopen(filename, "r"); // Open the file in read mode
+ if (fh == nullptr)
+ throw std::runtime_error("Could not open the file.");
+
+ try {
+ doSomethingWithTheFile(fh);
+ doSomethingElseWithIt(fh);
+ }
+ catch (...) {
+ fclose(fh); // Be sure to close the file if an error occurs.
+ throw; // Then re-throw the exception.
+ }
+
+ fclose(fh); // Close the file
+ // Everything succeeded
+}
+
+// Compare this to the use of C++'s file stream class (fstream)
+// fstream uses its destructor to close the file.
+// Recall from above that destructors are automatically called
+// whenever an object falls out of scope.
+void doSomethingWithAFile(const std::string& filename)
+{
+ // ifstream is short for input file stream
+ std::ifstream fh(filename); // Open the file
+
+ // Do things with the file
+ doSomethingWithTheFile(fh);
+ doSomethingElseWithIt(fh);
+
+} // The file is automatically closed here by the destructor
+
+// This has _massive_ advantages:
+// 1. No matter what happens,
+// the resource (in this case the file handle) will be cleaned up.
+// Once you write the destructor correctly,
+// It is _impossible_ to forget to close the handle and leak the resource.
+// 2. Note that the code is much cleaner.
+// The destructor handles closing the file behind the scenes
+// without you having to worry about it.
+// 3. The code is exception safe.
+// An exception can be thrown anywhere in the function and cleanup

+// Additional examples include

+// - Containers - the standard library linked list,

+// Aspects of C++ that may be surprising to newcomers (and even some veterans).
+// This section is, unfortunately, wildly incomplete; C++ is one of the easiest
+// languages with which to shoot yourself in the foot.
+
+// You can override private methods!
+class Foo {
+ virtual void bar();
+};
+class FooSub : public Foo {
+ virtual void bar(); // Overrides Foo::bar!
+};
+
+
+// 0 == false == NULL (most of the time)!
+bool* pt = new bool;
+*pt = 0; // Sets the value points by 'pt' to false.
+pt = 0; // Sets 'pt' to the null pointer. Both lines compile without warnings.
+
+// nullptr is supposed to fix some of that issue:
+int* pt2 = new int;
+*pt2 = nullptr; // Doesn't compile
+pt2 = nullptr; // Sets pt2 to null.
+
+// There is an exception made for bools.
+// This is to allow you to test for null pointers with if(!ptr),
+// but as a consequence you can assign nullptr to a bool directly!
+*pt = nullptr; // This still compiles, even though '*pt' is a bool!
+
+
+// '=' != '=' != '='!
+// Calls Foo::Foo(const Foo&) or some variant (see move semantics) copy
+// constructor.
+Foo f2;
+Foo f1 = f2;
+
+// Calls Foo::Foo(const Foo&) or variant, but only copies the 'Foo' part of
+// 'fooSub'. Any extra members of 'fooSub' are discarded. This sometimes
+// horrifying behavior is called "object slicing."
+FooSub fooSub;
+Foo f1 = fooSub;
+
+// Calls Foo::operator=(Foo&) or variant.
+Foo f1;
+f1 = f2;
+
+
+// How to truly clear a container:
+class Foo { ... };
+vector<Foo> v;
+for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
+ v.push_back(Foo());
+
+// Following line sets size of v to 0, but destructors don't get called
+// and resources aren't released!
+v.empty();
+v.push_back(Foo()); // New value is copied into the first Foo we inserted
+
+// Truly destroys all values in v. See section about temporary objects for
+// explanation of why this works.
+v.swap(vector<Foo>());
