Constrain a template (C++20).

Illustration for the C++ course
Lesson 1 is on the house. The rest opens with the paper, the Daily, or a gift.

This is C++ · expert, lesson 1: concepts. Read the teaching and the stills before the checks. The quizzes are open book and test the subject — C++ itself — not product rules or layout trivia.

Concepts constrain template parameters with readable requirements.

requires expressions document required operations.

Better errors than raw template soup.

C++20 feature.

concept

template <typename T>
concept Addable = requires(T a, T b) { a + b; };
Match this when you type. Open book.

Sit with that still. Trace it top to bottom. Name each piece. The exercise asks you to match its essence.

If something fails when you try it yourself, change one thing. Read the error. Return to the still. I will not rush you.
