About the Source Code

For all the example code in this site, we will be using C++, for it is a widely used and taught language that is efficient and suitable for our purposes.

Some of the code may be easy enough to understand without knowing C++, and the source code is all written to be as easy to read and understand as possible, but a basic knowledge of C++ is needed to understand many of the more advanced source codes.

The following is a list of C++ language concepts that our source code uses. If you understand those concepts, then you should be able to understand almost all of our source code.

• Variables and basic data structures (arrays, structures)
• Control Structures (if statements, loops, etc.)
• Functions
• Classes, Constructors, Destructors
• Pointers
• Recursion
