A Newer Version of C++ Introduced!

There has been a revolution in the programming world as a newer version of C++ which brings both simplicity and power has been introduced.

C++ is a general-purpose programming language with imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features. It was developed some in 1998 by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs , as an extension of the C language since 1979, as he wanted an efficient and flexible language similar to C, which also provided high-level features for program organization.

C++ is an awesome and reliable modern object-oriented language close enough to the machine architecture and produces programs that run about as fast as possible.

However, as the years go by, revolution has always been a norm. Hence the update of C++.  New features have been added and they do not in any way or means lead to any break in existing programs.

C++ 17

It was discussed at the recent standards meeting in Oulu, Finland where the actual and final features list of C++ has been finalized. The new C++ 17 standards are introducing new features like structured bindings and if initialisers, making this vintage programming language “feature complete”.

Below is an outline of features  the new C++ 17 possesses:

•     C++17 is based on C11

•     Dynamic memory allocation for over-aligned data

•     Structured bindings

•     Guaranteed copy elision

•     Forward process guarantees (FPG)

•     if (init; condition) and switch (init; condition)

•     Inline variables   

•     constexpr if

•     A weaker version of fixed order-of-evaluation for expressions

•     Template argument deduction for class templates

Other non-C++17 features will be released later as add-ons in future releases.

The c++ community says the update aims to make C++ an easier language to work with and adds powerful technical specifications.

See Capacity of World's Largest USB Flash Drive

I guess the sizes of USB flash drives you've come in contact with range from 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and so on. Probably the highest being 128GB of which you prolly never seen.
If you are from the second millennial, this probably won’t surprise you but for those belonging to the age of the first generation windows OS computers, this would really awe them.

From using those 3½-inch Floppy disks which store data of up to 1.44MB, we have advanced to storing a whopping 2TB on a single finger sized USB stick.

Kingston recently unveiled a new pen-drive which can hold up to 2TeraByte(TB) data.
The Micro-SD card and USB pen-drive manufacturer, unveiled the new 2TB Data-Traveler Ultimate GT flash drive. The USB flash drive, offers 2TB of storage space, which is accompanied by a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) performance. This essentially means, that the 2TB Data-Traveler flash drive can store up to 70 hours of 4K video, 96 average-sized PC games, 256000 24-megapixel images, 166 HD movies and 531,344 MP3 songs. Theoretically, the flash drive offers a transfer speed of a whopping 5Gbps.
 It is built out of a zinc-alloy metal casing for shock resistance, and features a similar and  sleeker design to the Data-Traveler HyperX Predator 512GB and 1TB flash drives introduced in 2013. It is compact with dimensions of 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm.

Kingston says that it will start shipping Data-Traveler Ultimate GT in February and will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. Kingston is yet  to reveal the pricing for Data-Traveler but of course, it is expected to be pretty expensive considering the fact that each Data-Traveler will be backed by a 5-year warranty and free tech support.

The all new Kingston’s 3-inch 2TB pen-drive will usher in a time when the capacity of USB flash drive will only have capacity range  in TB's alone.
Already, most laptops sold today have a hard disk of up to 1TB capacity.
