We use certain container types, like maps and dynamic arrays, constantly. Others, like linked lists and queues, more sparingly. Still, they are fundamental structures in virtually every program and the poster children for generic programming. Like C#, the Standard Library in C++ provides a bunch of container types. Today we’ll start going through them, starting with containers for various kinds of arrays!

Sometimes you just want a small array without the heap allocations and GC. Existing solutions like stackalloc require unsafe code, don’t allow for dynamic growth, and don’t support foreach loops. So today we’ll design and build a code generator that puts a new tool in your toolbox!
Recursion is a commonly-used feature of many programming languages, including AS3. It’s useful for everything from trivial examples like computing the Fibonacci sequence all the way up to advanced sorting techniques like Quicksort and tree algorithms. This article is a first in a series all about recursion. Today we’ll see what kinds of limits the Flash Player puts on us as recursion-using AS3 developers.
