What’s “this” file? You don’t need an extension to determine. It’s all a sequence of bytes and depening on the type of data that sequence changes.

Constructors
It’s a complex topic ( complex only if actually know about the ins and outs of it ) and has a lots of nuances and gotchas to it in C++ so here’s my breakdown.
Initializations
It’s again a complex topic with a lot of nuances so my breakdown.
To delete or free
Both clear up memory but the intended use case is paired. free and malloc/caloc/realloc go together and likewise for delete and new.
Pointers are Values
A pointer is just like an int, excpet holding memory address. When passed to a function, they are passed by value.
Array Operations

Sorting and Life
Sort.

Array Transforms
One of the simple topics that helps to think in higher terms rather than a “for” loop but people hide it behind the big name of “functional paradigm” or “functional programming”.
Function Pointers
A way to pass function as arguments.
