CppQuiz.org is now on C++23


If you’re not familiar with https://cppquiz.org, it is, as its name suggests, a C++ quiz site. Each quiz is a full C++ program, and your task is to figure out what the output is. But the real value often lies in the explanation, which goes into detail about why the answer is what it is. The explanations typically reference the standard quite a lot, so it’s a lot of work to port all of them whenever a new standard is published.

Thanks to some great help from the community, especially @tocic, we managed to port the whole site over the summer. So now you can enjoy up-to-date questions and explanations using the very latest C++23!

As promised in Help Get CppQuiz to C++23 And Win a Book, three contributors were drawn to win a copy of my book C++ Brain Teasers. Below is a recording of that:

Again, thanks a lot to everyone who contributed, and congratulations to the three winners! You will be contacted by email to arrange for shipping.

C++ Brain Teasers Book Launch September 10 (live+streaming)


On September 10 there will be a book launch event for my book C++ Brain Teasers organized by Oslo C++ Users Group at NDC TechTown in Kongsberg. The event starts with food and mingling at 18:00 CEST, and the book launch starts at 18:30. Check out the event at Meetup.com for more details. Update: Here’s the recording of the event.

The event will start with an interview by Olve Maudal, then we’ll do one chapter as a mini-quiz and I will read that chapter. There will be a few physical copies for sale and a discount on the e-book.

I will also attempt to stream the event on YouTube, so if you can’t make it to Kongsberg, head over to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@andersknatten and watch it from wherever you are in the world!
