C++ Stack and Queue Tutorial for Beginners

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on finding effective tutorials for learning about stacks and queues in C++. Participants express difficulties in understanding these concepts and seek recommendations for resources, including video tutorials and textbooks.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests tutorials for stacks and queues in C++, expressing difficulty in understanding the material.
  • Several participants provide links to online resources and reference websites for C++ tutorials.
  • Some participants suggest searching for video tutorials on Google, while others express a preference for learning from textbooks over videos.
  • Concerns are raised about the challenges of using video tutorials, particularly the difficulty in following along with code execution.
  • A participant recommends Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C++" as a valuable textbook resource.
  • Another participant shares their learning strategy of running examples from textbooks and experimenting with the code.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that textbooks are a more reliable resource for learning C++ concepts compared to video tutorials, though some still advocate for video content. The discussion reflects multiple perspectives on effective learning methods without reaching a consensus.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of comfort with different learning resources, indicating that personal learning preferences may influence their recommendations. There is no resolution on the effectiveness of video tutorials versus textbooks.

is there any tutorial which covers stack and queue in c++.
i am not able to understand it is getting difficult for me .
 
Technology news on Phys.org
Just put ' C++ queue video ' and ' C++ stack video ' into Google . My search generated many results .

Personal observation : I have always found learning things from textbooks and textbook style websites far easier and certainly more reliable than trying to learn anything from video tutorials .

thank you
 
The problem with video tutorials is seeing the code being executed and then trying to use the code means stopping the video and typing in what you see or jumping to some URL the video might reference to get the code.

Definitely agree with Nidum and jedishrfu about video tutorials. I also highly recommend more thorough reading from a textbook. Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C++" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201350882/?tag=pfamazon01-20, is a great resource.

But textbooks is the way to go. What worked best for me was to take the examples from the books. Run them as described, see how they run. Then tinker with the code, change things and see the result.
But you'll need to find your own way to learn :)
