C++ (Programming Language)

C++ is a programming language commonly used for developing operating systems, browsers, games, and other complex software applications. It is an extension of the C programming language and includes features such as object-oriented programming, templates, and exception handling. Proficiency in C++ requires knowledge of its syntax, data types, control structures, memory management, and libraries.

C++14 is a version of the programming language C++. It introduces several new features and improvements, such as simplified syntax, enhanced constexpr support, and improved type inference. It also includes features for better memory management, such as smart pointers and lambda expressions. Knowledge of C++14 is important for developers who want to write efficient and effective code for a wide variety of applications.

The GNU Debugger (GDB) is an essential software tool used by developers to debug and analyze source code during software development. GDB supports various programming languages and operates on multiple platforms, making it an important specialized skill for developers working on complex projects. It enables developers to track program execution, examine memory, set breakpoints, and debug code line by line. GDB is an open-source tool, maintained by the GNU Project, and used extensively in the software development industry.

Lua is a lightweight and efficient scripting language that is often used in video game development. It is also used in other applications, such as web development and software automation. Knowledge of Lua allows developers to extend the functionality of existing software, write custom game scripts, and create plugins and tools.

STL is a C++ library that provides a set of reusable algorithms, data structures, and functions commonly used in software development. It includes containers like vectors, lists, and maps, as well as algorithms for sorting, searching, and manipulating these containers. STL is known for providing efficient and easy-to-use tools for program development and is widely used in software development.
