Overview of this book

C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. Fast, efficient, and flexible, it is used to solve many problems. The latest versions of C++ have seen programmers change the way they code, giving up on the old-fashioned C-style programming and adopting modern C++ instead. Beginning with the modern language features, each recipe addresses a specific problem, with a discussion that explains the solution and offers insight into how it works. You will learn major concepts about the core programming language as well as common tasks faced while building a wide variety of software. You will learn about concepts such as concurrency, performance, meta-programming, lambda expressions, regular expressions, testing, and many more in the form of recipes. These recipes will ensure you can make your applications robust and fast. By the end of the book, you will understand the newer aspects of C++11/14/17 and will be able to overcome tasks that are time-consuming or would break your stride while developing.

Implementing the named parameter idiom

C++ supports only positional parameters, which means arguments are passed to a function based on the parameter's position. Other languages also support named parameters--that is, they specify parameter names when making a call and invoking arguments. This is particularly useful with parameters that have default values. A function may have parameters with default values, although they always appear after all the nondefaulted parameters. However, if you want to provide values for only some of the defaulted parameters, there is no way to do it without providing values for the arguments that are positioned before them in the function parameters list. A technique called the named parameter idiom provides a method to emulate named parameters, which we will explore in this recipe.
