About the Book
The C++ Interview Book is a comprehensive guide to the questions you will face in a C++ interview — from the basics every candidate must know to the C++23 and C++26 features that set you apart.
This is the second edition of Daily C++ Interview, completely restructured and expanded. The original 149 questions have been deduplicated, rewritten, and reorganised into 13 topical parts. Over 40 new questions have been added, covering deducing this, std::expected, std::forward_like, ranges, std::print, contracts, reflection, and more.
Every question includes:
- A difficulty tag (Junior, Mid, or Senior) so you can calibrate your preparation
- Follow-up questions an interviewer might ask — often harder than the main question
- Cross-references to related questions elsewhere in the book
- Code samples that compile and illustrate the point
The book also includes:
- A 100-day study schedule with built-in spaced repetition
- A code-reading capstone (Part 13) — 13 "what does this code do?" exercises that mirror real interview formats
- A quick reference card covering the Hinnant table, value categories, smart pointers, container complexity, const placement, and move semantics
Whether you are preparing for your first C++ role or brushing up before a senior-level interview loop, this book gives you not just the answers, but the reasoning behind them — the kind of understanding that survives follow-up questions.

About the Author
I am a C++ software craftsman with strong Python working in the tourism and hospitality industry and an enthusiastic blogger writing about coding, books, and the importance of stoic philosophy in a software developer's life.
I moved to software development from database operations which means that I don't just care about delivering a product as fast as possible, but I do understand the importance of stability and maintainability.
I'm passionate about delivering clean solutions, but I find even more important to help my teams to constantly raise the bar and to (re)focus on quality and clean code. I do this by explaining how high-quality work will help them in their individual careers, by introducing more meaningful development processes and automation and by teaching them industry best practices.
