C++ Programming By Example - Building a Sorting Application

The video tutorial covers the creation of a basic phone book application using C++. It explains the use of type aliases and the pair class for managing contacts. The tutorial demonstrates sorting contacts by name and phone number using predicates and introduces tuples for handling multiple fields. It also covers creating predicate functions for sorting and using the copy_if algorithm to search contacts based on specific criteria.

What is the purpose of the phone book style application discussed in the text?

Explain how the contacts are sorted in the application.

What is the role of the 'predicate' in sorting the contacts?

What changes are made to the contact structure to allow sorting by first name, last name, and phone number?

Describe the difference between using a 'pair' and a 'tuple' in the context of this application.

Discuss the importance of using standard template library algorithms in this application.

How does the application ensure that the sorting is done in place?

How does the application handle searching for contacts?

What is the expected output when searching for contacts whose first name starts with 'B'?

What is the significance of the 'back inserter' in the search functionality?
