Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

// typeModifications.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

int main(){

  std::cout << std::boolalpha << std::endl;

  std::cout << "std::is_const<std::add_const<int>::type>::value: " <<  std::is_const<std::add_const<int>::type>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "std::is_const<std::remove_const<const int>::type>::value: " << std::is_const<std::remove_const<const int>::type>::value << std::endl;

  std::cout << std::endl;
  typedef std::add_const<int>::type myConstInt;
  std::cout << "std::is_const<myConstInt>::value: " << std::is_const<myConstInt>::value << std::endl;
  typedef const int myConstInt2;
  std::cout << "std::is_same<myConstInt, myConstInt2>::value: " << std::is_same<myConstInt, myConstInt2>::value << std::endl;

  std::cout << std::endl;

}

## Explanation
* In line 7, due to the flag `boolalpha` in line 10, the program displays either `true` or `false` instead of 1 or 0.

* In line 9, we used `std::add_const<int>` to add constant to `int` and checked it using `std::is_const`.

* In line 10, we used `std::remove_const<const int>` to remove constant from `const int` and checked it using `std::is_const`.

* In lines 13-14, we defined a `const int` `myConstInt` using `std::add_const<int>::type` and checked it using `std::is_const`.

* In lines 15-16, we defined a `const int` `myConstInt2` using `const int` keyword and checked to see that it is the same as `MyConstInt` using `std::is_same`.
