Summary
This episode introduces C++20's spaceship operator (operator<=>), a powerful new language feature that simplifies comparison operations. Jason demonstrates how using this single operator can automatically generate all six comparison operators (==, !=, <, <=, >, >=) for a class, eliminating significant boilerplate code. The episode explains the basic syntax and usage with a practical example showing how the spaceship operator can replace manually implemented comparison logic in custom types.
