C++ Reactive Programming

Expressivity

C++ helps a developer to write user defined types or classes that can be as expressive as the built-in types of the programming languages. This enables one to write a arbitrary-precision arithmetic class (monikered as BigInteger/BigFloat in some languages), which contains all the features of a double or float. For the sake of explanation, we have defined a SmartFloat class that wraps IEEE double precision floating point numbers and most of the operators available to the double data type is overloaded. The following code snippets show that one can write types that mimic the semantics of built-in types such as int, float, or double:

//---- SmartFloat.cpp#include <iostream>#include <vector>#include <algorithm>using namespace std; ...
