Complete Modern C++ - Folding Basics

The video tutorial explains the concept of folding, also known as reduce or accumulate, which applies a binary operator to a list of values recursively. It discusses how folding can be implemented in C++ using variadic templates and recursion, with an example of summing a list of elements. The tutorial also highlights the use of STL's accumulate function for folding and introduces fold expressions in C++17, which simplify the process by eliminating the need to overload variadic templates.
