In this tutorial we continue solving problems with C++. We’ll solve the Caesar Cipher, Solve Equations for X, Create Lists of Primes and Generate a List of Random Values in a Range. I’m making these videos to make you good at solving random problems rather then just covering language syntax. Don’t worry if you get them wrong. The goal is to make you think in new ways.
All of the code and a transcript of the video follows the video below. Continue reading C++ Tutorial 7
In this tutorial we’ll solve 4 problems while learning some new tricks. We’ll turn vectors into strings and vice versa. Then we’ll trim whitespace, find all substring matches and then replace them. We’ll finish up the tutorial with homework on how to create a Caesar Cipher function.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial. All of the code and a transcript of the video follows the video below. Continue reading C++ Tutorial 6
In this part of my C++ tutorial we’ll cover numerous ways to interact with Strings, numerous common Math functions and we’ll solve a rather complex 2 part problem.

All of the code and a transcript follows the video below. Continue reading C++ Tutorial 5
In this tutorial I’ll be covering While, Break, Continue, Exception Handling, Do While, Random Numbers and more complex problems for you to solve.
The problems are starting to get more complex, but don’t worry if you can’t solve them. The goal is just to get better at solving problems, which only comes from practice. All of the code follows the video below. Continue reading C++ Tutorial 4
As we continue to learn C++ through problem solving we cover Functions, Pointers, Local Variables, how to create a range function and solve a bunch of problems.
I hope you find using pointers to be a breeze after this tutorial. Please share your alternative problem solutions. All of the code and a transcript follows the video below. Continue reading C++ Tutorial 3
I continue teaching C++ through problem solving. In this video I cover conditional operators, logical operators, if, else, arrays, vectors, converting strings into vectors, string stream, while loops, for loops and more. I’ll also present 2 problems for you to solve, which I’ll then provide the answer to.
I think learning through doing is the best and the problems will keep getting more complex. The code follows the video below to help. Continue reading C++ Tutorial 2
Here I will begin my large C++ tutorial that many people have been asking for. I decided to teach C++ through problem solving.

Here is the link to Visual Studio Code. I also received questions on what Arduino kit I plan on using in my upcoming tutorials. If you get the Unable to open ‘PIO Home’ error, here is the fix. Continue reading Setup Visual Studio Code Windows
I asked everyone to tell me what tutorial they wanted and C++ won. In this tutorial I show you how to install C / C++ and NetBeans on both Windows and MacOS. I decided to use NetBeans because I think it is the best C++ IDE on every operating system.
Here is the link for Minimalist GNU, NetBeans and XCode. I’ll also be covering Arduino at the same time because of the interest in it. Fee free to use any IDE, because C++ code works on all of them. Continue reading Install C++ & NetBeans
Welcome to part 15 of my C Video Tutorial! In this tutorial, I cover numerous topics.
First I go over how we can pass locations in memory between functions based on a request I received. Then I cover the Bitwise Operators AND, OR, Exclusive OR, and Shift Operators. We explore how signed numbers work and how the Ones Complement Operator can help. Then we look at Bit Masking and Binary Fractions. All of the code follows the video to help you learn. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 15
In the last part of my C Video Tutorial, I covered how to convert from base 10 to base 2, base 8 and base 16 with C.
At the end of that tutorial, I provided a homework assignment for you to write code that converts from any base back to base 10. In this tutorial, I will walk through exactly how to do that.
You can find all of the code below the video. Please leave any questions you may have. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 14
Welcome to part 13 of my C Video Tutorial. I have been asked many times to explain how to convert base 10 numbers into binary (Base 2), octal (Base 8) and hexadecimal (Base 16) numbers. Today I’ll cover that topic.
I also cover how the different numbering systems work so that it will be easy to work with them in the videos that follow. All of the code can be found below along with a transcription to aid in translation. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 13
Welcome to my C Binary File IO tutorial. With the binary view of a file you have access to all the bytes in the file. You can store strings, arrays, structs, etc.
Aside from showing how to save and retrieve strings, I’ll also cover how to save array data and grab it out of the file randomly. I also briefly cover error handling in C. All the code is available below along with a transcript of what I said for translation. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 12
In this part of the C Video Tutorial I will provide C File IO examples. I’ll cover C Text File IO in this tutorial and the Binary File IO functions in the next part.
I specifically cover the following topics: FILE Data type, fopen(), fputs(), fseek(), ftell(), fgets(), fclose(), fscanf(), puts(), fprintf(), Different Ways to Access Files, and more. All of the code used is available below the video. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 11
In this video I continue with my C Linked List tutorial. In part 9, I gave you homework and in this video I will show you my answer. You guys asked for more tutorials like this, so I’m giving it a try.
So, today I’ll show you how to search through a Linked List. I’ll also cover how to delete structs and remove them not only from the Linked List, but also from memory. All of the code from the video is below along with a transcription. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 10
Welcome to my linked list structure or linked list struct tutorial. I have been asked to cover these structs numerous times lately and so I will do so.
In this tutorial and the next I will show how to create an unlimited number of structs using malloc. I’ll focus on creating the structs, adding them to the list and then how to display them. Because you guys ask for homework all of the time, you’ll then get the opportunity to write the code on how to search through the linked list, how to delete structs and free memory. Continue reading C Video Tutorial 9
Welcome to part 8 of my C Video Tutorial. In this video I cover a topic I have received many requests for. This is basically a C Malloc Tutorial.
Malloc() ( Memory Allocator ) is used to dynamically set aside memory at run time. Because malloc() returns a pointer to that location in memory it can be a bit confusing. I’ll cover how to store both regular data types as well as structs using malloc(). Continue reading C Video Tutorial 8
In the past week I have been asked a countless number of times how to install GCC ( GNU Compiler Collection ). I have been using it in my C Video Tutorial.
