User-defined literals

by Marius Bancila

From the article:

The C++11 standard introduced the possibility to create user-defined literals, that are basically built-in type literals (integer, float, char or string) followed by a used-defined suffix. User-defined literals enable the creation of new objects based on the built-in literal value and the applied user-defined suffix.

auto temp = 77_fah;       // 77 Fahrenheit degrees = 25 Celsius degrees

auto size = 1_KB;         // 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes

auto emp  = "marius"_dev; // a user defined type Developer
