Debugging Segmentation Faults in C++
Published:
Segmentation faults in C++ are a sign that you are trying to do hard things. Congratulations! Now, let’s take a peek at how to start debugging.
Uninitialized variables in C++
Published:
C++ won’t always work the way you expect, and that is by design. It’s a remarkably rigid language and it requires that a programmer cross all of their f’s and dot all of their j’s.
Common Constructor Mistakes in C++
Published:
It is very common to have some difficulty when constructing custom classes in C++. Below I’ll discuss what tend to be the two most common problems I see with student submissions. The first is local scope vs instance variables. The second is a lack of default constructors.
Operator Overloading in C++
Published:
What follows is an example of an overloaded operator for a class named Foo.

command line interface
*nix Plumbing
Published:
Unix-based systems generally have a similar command line interface (CLI). This interface is challenging at first, but allows users to do powerful operations in a fraction of the time required to do the same task in a GUI. An additional benefit is that actions are more repeatable via the CLI. One useful thing to do is chain together multiple commands into one mega-command. This chaining is accomplished with the pipe key |. Since pipes are used to connect commands, this is colloquially referred to as “plumbing”.
