Complete Modern C++ - static_assert (C++11)

The video tutorial introduces the concept of static assert, a compile-time assertion mechanism in C++. It explains how static assert can be used to evaluate expressions at compile time, providing a diagnostic message if the expression is false. The tutorial demonstrates its application in ensuring code is compiled in 32-bit mode and checking type traits, such as verifying if a type is a floating point. By using static assert, developers can prevent compilation errors and enforce specific conditions during the compilation process.
