Ep 290: C++14's Digit Separators and Binary Literals

Summary

This episode explores two lesser-known C++14 features that enhance code readability. Jason demonstrates binary literals, which allow directly expressing binary values using the 0b prefix (like 0b1010), and digit separators, which enable organizing numeric literals with the single quote character for improved readability. These features are particularly useful when working with bitmasks, low-level programming, or representing large numbers in a human-friendly format.
