Thanks to the comments in this article, I have now been able to review a few posts on my blog, and I have some comments that I feel are worth a read. I can’t wait until I see more of these posts on my blog.
Not long ago my boss and I were reviewing the c++ code that I wrote for a company’s website. After going through a couple of files, we came to a function that was taking a list of functions and calling them one by one. I was looking at this code with the understanding that the code was not very efficient, but I was still very impressed with the efficiency of this function.
In this article we’re going to explore a c++ function that takes a list of functions and calls each one of them and then prints the results into the console.
The first thing I noticed was that this function was really concise and very easy to read. This was actually the first time that I’d ever seen a function that took a list and called each of them one by one. I was also impressed with the amount of code that was being made available to me, because the functions in question could have been used to create any number of other methods.
In other words, this function was designed to make the programmer’s life easier (and thus, the end user’s as well). This means that it’s a very good way to write code that is very readable and very fast.
Now that’s very good. I mean it’s true that speed and readability are two of the most important things that a programmer can use to his advantage, but I think its also important to think about what you want your code to do. If you want to do something very simple, then the fastest way to do it is with only a few lines of code.
If you want to do something with a lot of complexity, then you would have to write a lot of code that is long and complicated and still be very fast. c++ is very fast, because it compiles down to an extremely small code. So if you want to do something complex, you would have to write a lot of code that is just as complex and still be very fast. In c++, the speed is not a measure of how complex, but how small the code.
c++ is actually one of those things where you can write code that is long, but it’s still extremely fast. It’s actually only about 20,000 lines of code. Even if you’re writing a very complex piece of code, if you can take a small and simple piece of code and turn it into an extremely fast piece of code, that’s great.
c++ is not an exception to this rule. Its not a “complex” language like C++, but because of the sheer number of lines, c++ is probably among the fastest languages that exist. However, the code that c++ produces is still pretty complex because of its type system and the way it handles type safety.
