Modern C++ features

Use C++11 to C++23 features for safer code.

📖 Key ideas

  1. auto, range-for, nullptr, lambdas.
  2. Move semantics avoid expensive copies (std::move).
  3. Smart pointers replace manual new/delete.
  4. std::optional, std::variant, structured bindings: auto [a, b] = pair.
  5. constexpr for compile-time computation.
💡 Real-life example: Modern C++ is the same car with power steering, airbags and GPS added.
Move semanticsTransfer resources instead of copying
std::optionalValue that may be absent
Structured bindingsUnpack tuples/pairs
constexprCompile-time evaluation
