auto lets the compiler deduce variable types from initializers, reducing verbosity and improving maintainability.

The chrono library provides type-safe time utilities for durations, time points, and clocks. It's designed to prevent common time-related bugs through strong typing.

constexpr indicates values or functions can be evaluated at compile-time, enabling compile-time computation and optimization.

decltype deduces the type of an expression, preserving references and const qualifiers exactly.

C++ evolves through standardized versions released approximately every three years. Each standard adds features, fixes issues, and modernizes the language while maintaining backward compatibility.

C++11 refined value categories into five types: lvalue, prvalue, xvalue, glvalue, and rvalue. Understanding these enables perfect forwarding and move semantics.

Lambdas (C++11) are anonymous functions that can capture variables from surrounding scope, enabling functional programming patterns and convenient callbacks.

noexcept specifies that a function won't throw exceptions, enabling optimizations and stronger guarantees.

Smart pointer with shared ownership via reference counting. Multiple shared_ptrs can own the same object, deleted when last owner destroyed.

Smart pointer with exclusive ownership. Zero overhead, automatic cleanup, move-only semantics. The default choice for dynamic memory.

Non-owning observer of shared_ptr-managed objects. Doesn't increase reference count, enables checking if object still exists.

C++11 brace initialization {} - one syntax for all types. Consistent, safe (prevents narrowing), solves gotchas.

Variadic templates accept any number of arguments of any types. They're the foundation for functions like std::make_tuple, printf, and perfect forwarding.
