Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Arguments and Return Values

The video tutorial discusses the importance of managing function arguments effectively in programming. It highlights the challenges of functions with too many arguments and suggests keeping them between zero to three. The tutorial compares CreateProcess and Fork functions, emphasizing the simplicity of fewer arguments. It provides tips on passing arguments efficiently and avoiding Boolean arguments. The use of return values and the NoDiscard attribute in C++17 is explained. Finally, it introduces functional programming concepts, including function objects and lambdas.
