While data structure intuition is a natural development for most software developers, algorithm intuition often requires more deliberate work.<br \/>\nThis presentation aims to revisit and expand upon Hoekstra&#8217;s insights, exploring how a deeper understanding of standard algorithms can help to ease problem solving in modern C++.<br \/>\nWe will examine key algorithms from the Standard Template Library (STL), demonstrating their practical applications and how they can be leveraged to write more efficient, readable, and maintainable code.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">19:30:<\/span> <\/strong>Break<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">19:45:<\/span> <\/strong>Session 2: <strong>Compile-Time Emulation of an 8080-Inspired System in C++<\/strong> (Tom Tesch)<br \/>\n<em>Emulating an 8080-like system is a great exercise in low-level programming\u2014but what if we could optimize it at compile time?
