cpp20

Throughout this course, you will learn all the options to initialize data members in C++ using a simpler syntax and safer code. More specifically, in this mini course you will learn non-static data member initialization, inline variables, designated initializers, and more. Additionally, you’ll see the changes and new techniques from C++11 to C++20 to really round out your understanding.
