I've got some great news to share with you. Based on my series on when to use const
in C++, I wrote a book on the same topic and I released it on LeanPub!
In the book, I discuss the idea of constness which is so important that in certain languages entities are const
, in other words, immutable by default. If you want to become a seasoned C++ developer, you must understand how you can use const
correctly. In this book, you'll learn when and how to use it in the different contexts it might appear:
-
const
functions -
const
local variables -
const
member variables -
const
return types -
const
parameters
Compared to the series of articles, the book contains extra code examples, more explanations and also the differences between const
west and east const
- without starting a holy war on different coding styles.
