Welcome to C++ Weekly! In episode 479, we dive into the topic of final and when you should use it in your code. Final is a keyword that can be applied to classes and virtual methods, preventing further inheritance or overriding respectively. As the host explains, using final can help convey the intent of your code clearly, making it easier for others to understand your design choices.

The episode also highlights that applying final can lead to performance optimizations by enabling better compiler optimizations. It's not just about preventing modifications; it’s also about making your code more efficient.

Remember the key takeaway: "Using final can clarify your code's design and may improve performance." So be sure to consider using it wisely in your next C++ project.
