Introduction

C++ basics improvement, object-oriented paradigm and advanced programming techniques, along with classic interview questions and practical problem-solving examples.

Relevant code is on Github. Please give me a star if you benifit from it!

😀 These notes are for：

1. People who have already learned C and want to learn C++

2. People who already know C++ and want to learn in depth

3. People who are preparing for recruitment and want to crack the technical interviews (like me)

4. People who want to use C++ in practical projects and want to know about common programming techniques

🙁 These notes are not for:

1. People who have no programming experience with C-style programming languages

2. People who want to delve into the details of C++ standards

Have fun!
