C++ is one of the most powerful and widely used programming languages in the world. Built on the foundation of C, it adds object-oriented programming, generic programming through templates, and the rich Standard Template Library — making it the language of choice for game development, systems programming, high-frequency trading, real-time applications, and performance-critical software.

MYCPLUS has been one of the web’s longest-running C++ programming resources, publishing tutorials, source code examples and practical guides since 2004. This section covers everything from the absolute basics of C++ syntax through to modern C++ features introduced in C++11, C++14, C++17 and beyond. You will find clear explanations of classes, inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation, practical STL container and algorithm examples, and real-world source code that demonstrates how C++ is used in professional software development.

Whether you are a student learning C++ for the first time, a C programmer making the transition to object-oriented development, or an experienced developer exploring modern C++ features like smart pointers, move semantics and lambda expressions — this section has the resources you need to level up your C++ skills.

What You’ll Learn:

  • C++ fundamentals — classes, objects, constructors, destructors, access modifiers and the core OOP model
  • Inheritance and polymorphism — class hierarchies, virtual functions, abstract classes and runtime polymorphism
  • STL mastery — vectors, maps, sets, iterators and the standard algorithms library with practical examples
  • Modern C++ features — smart pointers, move semantics, lambda expressions, auto typing and range-based loops
  • Templates and generic programming — function templates, class templates and template specialisation
  • Game development with C++ — how C++ powers game engines, graphics programming and real-time systems

Why MYCPLUS: One of the web’s longest-running C++ resources — trusted since 2004 with hundreds of tutorials, examples and source code projects built for real learning.

Knight's tour - C++ Implementation

Chess – Knight’s Tour Implementation in C++

This C++ program is tour of knight on 64 square of chess board.  The goal is to place a knight on an empty chess board and then move the knight to each of the remaining 63 squares while only visiting each square once.  If on visiting the last square the knight is able to hop to the square on which it first started it is known as a closed tour (and so the knight could resume the exact same sequence of moves to complete another tour) while if the knight is unable to hop to the original square, it is known as an open tour. 

advanced exception handling in C++

A Guide to Advanced Exception Handling in C++ Programming

An exception usually signals an error. One of the major features in C++ is exception handling, which is a better way of thinking about and handling errors. Thought it doesn’t always indicate an error, it can also signal some particularly unusual even in your program that deserves special attention. This article also covers try, throw, and catch, the C++ keywords that support exception handling.

Operator Overloading in C++

Operator Overloading in C++

Operator Overloading enables us to make the standard operators, like +, -, * etc, to work with the objects of our own data types or classes. We can write a function which redefines a particular operator so that it performs a specific operation when it is used with the object of a class.

Multiple Inheritance in C++

Multiple Inheritance in C++

Multiple Inheritance in C++ is a powerful yet intricate feature that allows a class to inherit properties and behaviors from more than one base class. In traditional single inheritance, a class can have only one immediate parent, but with multiple inheritance, a derived class can inherit from multiple base classes.

Functions in C++

Functions in C++ Programming

Functions are the building blocks of any programming language. In C++, a function is a block of code that performs a specific task. Think of it as a mini-program within your main program, designed to execute a particular operation. Functions are like building blocks that help break down complex problems into manageable chunks, making your code more readable and modular.
