Code Clinic: C++

Course details

Successful programmers know more than just how to code. They also know how to think about solving problems. Code Clinic is a series of courses in which our instructors solve the same problems using different programming languages. In each course, instructors provide tips and tricks for working in a particular language and help you grasp why you might want to learn one language over another. Here, Olivia Stone works with C++. Throughout the course, Olivia provides an overview of her solutions to different challenges in C++. Challenges include topics such as geolocation, face recognition, and accessing peripherals. Visit other courses in the series to see how to solve the same challenges in languages like JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, and Swift.
