Great tutorial. I am stupid in C++ and love C#. However, C++ seems singular, and I would love to learn it someday. About the video, I got that C# classes are reference types by default, but how can I behave similarly to the C++ code? Maybe something like BankAccount bankAccount2 = new BankAccount(bankAccount1);?
That's right, in C# to create a copy of an object in memory - you could just pass the relevant values from bankAccount1 into the constructor of bankAccount2 when you are instantiating bankAccount2 using the 'new' keyword. :)
You should mention that you can instantiate a new object and assign it values not as references. You can also make a constructor to avoid references. It's just another approach than c++. There are pros and cons to both languages. I like c# because I can let my brain rest more. Lol. It's easier but .. also have It's own pitfalls.
Absolutely. Thanks for your comment. I was trying to keep the example as simple as possible and focus on a small aspect of both languages for the comparison - so I tried to avoid nuances. :) I may do a deeper dive in a later video.
I'll be honest with you. I've been a professional developer for a long time and I would not like to code professionally using C++. You're right - could be a serious mental health risk lol
and still tools like blender Godot are programmed in C++ Maybe for web development the lowest you should go is Go but for system C/C++ is still most used
@ulrich-tonmoy Sure, absolutely - I joke about C++ but it is of course a fantastic technology and for system development or wherever you are resource constrained by your target device or in general you need highly performant runtime code - C++ or C is the best choice! :)
@@ulrich-tonmoy I just joking you know right 😂😂. I do use c++ for game development in unreal and systems but I prefer to use Java for systems. C++ is good but seriously coding in c++ can make someone go mad
@ulrich-tonmoy - Well languages like C# and Java have the benefit of their designers learning from the C++ language (standing on the shoulders of giants). Yeah C++ and Unreal is probably the best solution for game development. :) I think if I was a professional game development I would also use the Unreal game engine.
Yes - C++ classes are value types by default, while C# classes are reference type by default - creating a reference type class in C++ is possible but awkward, creating a value type class in C# is ... yeah, no...
Thank you! :) Yeah - you can use a 'record' in C# - which kind of simulates the behaviour of a value type (but behind the scenes is a class). You can also use a struct in C# which is a value type.
Thanks Gavin. Please do a deeper dive video when you have a moment. You have a talent in explaining things.
Thank you! Sure - I'd love to a do a deeper dive into this topic! :)
Great.

Wanna learn them both 😅
I like your way of thinking :)
Gavin lon ❤❤
Great video, but honestly programmers should avoid c++ if they want to keep their sanity
