2:33 - Please, if you're going to quote my parents, at least mention them in the description.

You can feel that he really knows his stuff and spent years for it. I really appreciate how it is free for us to enjoy.

The most enjoying C++ series ever

800 record? You were so underrated back then, considering that even six years later you still have the best C++ tutorial. The most precise, practical, professional, up-to-date and easy to understand. And you are so passionate in these videos too! I've had a headache trying to learn C++, because they only teach what the code means and how to set up the tools for compiling, but give no understanding of how it actually works top-down. It's so hard to grasp the process without CS education, I wasn't really learning and coding most of the time, but collecting scraps of information from different materials trying to build the image of how a process should work. But after your vids about compiler & linker I'm so fired up! I finally know what I'm doing when I write the code. I can't thank you enough!

Debugging is love, debugging is life. haha for real: I partially enjoy debugging, its like solving a puzzle.. It can get reaaally frustrating some times, and sometimes even irritating, but over all its a key part of coding and learning to code better I think :)

This really is the best C++ tutorial on KZfaq, I'm running through it again for the 2nd time because Cherno just knows how to teach you how to think like a programmer, even if you're not planning to use C++.

being able to watch the memory allocation that much close is fascinating for me, like you can actually see those value getting stored physically in that hardware is just amazing :O

I always used print statements to check execution. Never thought that debugging could have be way easier than that. Thank you Cherno for teaching me how to debug.

REALLY wish I had this when I started programming. This is fantastic.

4:25 Well, you taught me so much in two minutes. So I can see what the variables are set to without having to use cout

wow i have a little bit of programming experience and this series has really helped me to understand the nitty gritty of the whole programming process. tysm for making this

It's so great to find a series that teaches the way I learn. Thank you for the effort you put into this!

Learning soo much from this series. Never knew you could view the actual memory. That is fantastic.

Love how you explains it first and show it after, it's like you are creating the dots so it's easier for us just to connect them

Much love, Yan. This is one beautifully executed series.

Literally the best C++ tutorial series on the internet, thank you!

If you're getting random stuff instead of the cc groups, one of the things you can do to fix it is check to make sure you're on the same solution platform (x86). Switching from x64 to x86 fixed it for me.

you should sell those pillows as merch seriously, i'm sure lots of us would happily support the channel that way especially those who don't want to do the whole patreon thing

For XCode users: - Memory View : ⌘⌥⇧M or through the Debug --> Debug Workflow --> View Memory menus. - Autos and Locals are available by clicking on the arrow at the very bottom of the debug console. - To Watch a variable: Right-click on a variable and click on "watch", or right-click on the debug console and click on "add expression"

For those not well versed in VS17, Ctrl+F10 (or right-click Run-To Cursor) is a better way of moving from an existing point, to another point in the code (i.e., skip through a for loop)

15:30 - actually, at the end of the loop it will run i++ first, and then do the comparison to check if i < 5

I have no experience in programming and I have been learning c++ for 4 days. I had to watch this video 3 times to fully understand it, but it was awesome. Thank you!

I think the fact I did not learn how to use the debugger caused that I didn't become a programmer, I used printfs to debug my programs on uni and it was very frustrating and stopped my progress a lot. It was not the only thing - I had different ideas about myself back, a lot of personal issues, but watching this episode right now after 15 years really hits a spot. Maybe I will return to programming :)

Just a point of note: You need to be in debug mode in order to open the memory window. It means you place a break point, start debugging and then go to the menu Debug -> Windows to see the Memory option. I couldn't find it and a simple search revealed this fact. When Cherno opened the memory window, he was already in the debug mode.

I never saw a tutorial with so deep details, so you really understand whats going on inside mashine - thank you !!

"this all about figuring out...what did i do wrong? what did i do to deserve this?" im gonna be good at this

Cherno: "If you are programming without this - I do not know what you are doing?" (@4:21) Me: "Everything perfectly! :) :) :)"

Ohhh my goodness. I can finally see what is going on in the background while writing code. Can’t believe I’ve been going to school for more than 2 years and nothing like this was ever mentioned.. how??? God bless you The Cherno

Your timing is impeccable. Just when there's something I need to know like c++ header files or debugging in VS ( like today ) you upload a video on exactly that. Thanks!

This the best video I have ever seen in the Programming context.... I Love the way you teach it

In my University we use Visual Studio as IDE in most of the classes and I took C, C++ and C# courses using this IDE yet I am just learning to debug

Seeing how easy Visual Studio makes breakpoints has sold me on it.

Wow... I'm re-watching this in 2022 and it's amazing how good you are at explaining things. I'm blown away. Good job mate, and thank you.

What's awsome is my favorite coding youtuber(you)just happens to have made a c++ tutorial series which I found as I decided to learn c++. not only is this series way more informative than any other series or video I have tried but it geared toward the one thing I wanted to learn c++ for in the first place... Game dav 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Another neat feature in debugging is you can set a condition to only break when the condition has been met. Pretty useful inside loops where you don't want to break everytime it hits the breakpoint. I.e., # Break only when i == 5 for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { std::cout

Coolest thing in c++! made me understand header files more by just playing around with it!

The pillow is almost perfectly aligned with the couch.

this has changed everything for me

The most entertaining C++ series to date and do you have lessons about flutter mobile?

DAMN! No wonder people love Visual Studio so much!

it's 2024 and I'm watching this wonderful series after 6 years, and I have no idea what Cherno is doing these days, but I hope he's doing great

that's so incredible, U let me know lots of detail knowledge in C++

Quick question or maybe and idea for a future video: During debug at around 12:42 the memory view showed a perfect example of byte order, most significant, least significant bit and in general the architecture of the cpu coloured in red. Would be awseome for a future episode to talk about why it's written as "08 00 00 00" instead of "00 00 00 08". Love watching your videos, they refresh my memory a lot!

Hi. Are you going to make episode about const keyword? I've been always struggling to understand why and how things can go wrong if not using them.

I am studying C++ on a 1300 pages book, currently around page 850, but being a VS feature I've never used and just discovered Breakpoints and Debug mode only thanks to Cherno. Thank you!

Dude, how many guitars do you possess ? x)

piano sound in background is so freaking nice

I will definitely be buying some of your merch when I get my first job as a developer. You are a great teacher.

Thanks for this great series cherno loved your content even though not going to use in Game Dev, but still helped a lot:)

Thank you I just got into C++ a few months ago and in that i have learn a-lot from your videos using VS IDE. Keep it coming!!!

thank you...i was a bit scared to play with memory and debugging but now i feel a bit confident. great video and thanks for codelite too. Its a nice simple ide

The best c++ series I found on youtube. Really inspiring

if you can"t debug where you want just change setting of optimization(project properties->C/C++ ->Optimization-> Disable)

Thank you. TQ. TQ. I just performed my first debugging for a program. I even ended up using the Memory Window to check the values in my array change right in front me (I was "stepping over") and see the problem. It just felt so good. Best Video Ever!

Best C++ videos on youtube, love this series, hope there's more

I think we are at a point where people who have no idea about programming have stopped watching. So there wouldn't be too much point in covering very basic stuff like for loops and if statements. Keep up the good work!

This is gold. I just started to learn C++ and I love it. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for your work bro i learn a lot of your videos i never find a good tutorial fo visual studio and yours are the best regards

Hi Cherno. I just loved this series. Its a great fun. Please continue with this. Currently I will not be able to pay but definitely a lot of love n respect for what you are offering.

Chuck Norris does not use debugger to debug his code, he stares the code down until the code confesses.

This video should be the prerequisite for introduction to programming lectures in college to understand what we are going to do . Thanks for fascinating explaining

Thank you once again for the awesome content!!! (your hair is amazing, dam)

I literally took around 2.5 hours to make notes of this video. Thank you so much.

Hit like those who have been programming in Visual Studio for more than 2 Years and still checking this amazing video and learned a lot. U r da best Cherno :) Keep continue ur excellent effort (Y)

Excellent! I'm learning a lot with your series! Please keep it up!

Wonderful session

this video helped me a lot because with breakpoints i learned how to find my mistakes even if it is very small thanks the cherno

This is so amazing!! Perfectly executed explanation. :)

Wow this is the best video of the basis of debuging

bucky and thecherno

Liked, subscribed, commented, and speeding towards the Game Engine series. Great vid, keep up the stellar work!

Really incredible stuff even years later thanks!

Thank you so much. It has been super helpful. I enjoyed watching these series of videos.

Thank you for these series

I remember when he said "The" Cherno, in before AhCherno.

I already love your lessons!!!

My breakpoints simply were ignored because the optimization was set on speed. Disabling optimization solved the issue.

Fantastic stuff! Great quality video and information. Much appreciated!

so much to learn from your videos thanks again.

This tutorial is really exciting! Cheers!

I have never seen so many guitars in one's house before. You should do a guitar learning series!

Very profound knowledge, thank you

thank you for the incredible videos you make!

I absolutely love your work !

love your vids,full with interesting details

Yeeaaahhh! a new video!!!

The only thing i wish these youtube tutorials would do, is provide some exercises for each video with an answer key (if one wants to look). I listen to the video, I am pretty sure i understand it but i guess i just need the confirmation that I have grasped the essence of what is being taught in each video. I am not complaining as i am in the beginner stages of learning so, what would i know?. Anyways, liked and subscribed. P.S There is something about the cool color gradients and the soft music in the background of these videos that keeps me coming back.

Thank you for this tutorial. this is very helpful.

Great one, thank you!

You can also CTRL+F10 and it will run to where the current line where the cursor is. Use that all the time, makes "regular" breakpoints almost useless.

i like the very quiet music in the background. not too loud but its still there

Thank you very much for this series of video, very helpful for beginners like me. Just wonder if you could do a video about joint project of C# and C++.

Holy crap! mind BLOWN

very helpful bro, just subscribed!

Such a fun way of learning!

Thanks, I dunno how I could go without debugging for so long.

Thank you for amazing and really useful lessons!

This was way better than i expected saying that as an experienced programmer.

I went to university for Computer Science and took multiple programming courses including java, c, and c#. None of the professors thought it was necessary to teach us how to use the debugging tools. I wonder why.
