Howdy, Everyone !

Today I’ll share my C++ library which I am being used for all of C++ projects since I started at C++ programming until now. I’ve updated this library day by day, anytime I wanted and needed. It named Vutils or Vic Utilities. One more thing, this is a significantly improved version of CatEngine that I shared before. 🙄

It is available on GitHub at https://github.com/vic4key/Vutils

What is Vutils ?

Vutils or Vic Utilities is an utility library written in Modern C++ and for Modern C++.

It helps your programming go easier, faster and simpler.
