The Secret Life of C++: Syntactic Sugar

Many new cool things in C++ are really just syntactic sugar that turns into something else. BUt it is good to understand what it turns into. These include:

• Operator Overloading
• User Defined Literals
• Constexpr
• Intialization Lists
• Range based loops
• Type inference
