Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Going Functional

The video tutorial introduces a problem of finding a rectangle with an area closest to a reference value. It highlights the limitations of using simple loops and suggests using function objects and lambda expressions for more flexibility and less code duplication. The tutorial explains lambda expressions, their syntax, and advantages, including the trailing return syntax and capture block. It also covers generic lambda expressions and their benefits in simplifying code.
