Unary operators are operators that operate only on a single operand (unlike binary operators, which operate on two operands). There are mainly thirteen unary operators that exist in C++, for example, ++, !, ~, typeof, delete, etc. Overloading Unary Minus Operator Overloading a unary operator means defining a custom behavior for the unary operators while applying it to objects of a class. which means you can define how an operator will work when applied to instances of a class instead of using its default behavior. This operator is normally used on the left side of the object, as in +obj, ... Read More

Edge coloring is a method of coloring the edges of a graph, such that no two edges having a common vertex is colored with same color. A line Graph is a special type of graph which help us to assume an edge-coloring problem into a vertex-coloring problem. In other words, using a line graph makes edge coloring easier. In this article, we will discuss how to perform edge coloring of a graph using line graph and greedy coloring approach. What is Line Graph? Line graph is a special graph that is created from another graph. In the line ... Read More

Graph coloring is a technique in which, we assign colors to the vertices of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices have same color. Bipartite graph a special kind of graph which is possible to color by just two colors. In this article, we will discuss how to perform graph coloring on a bipartite graph using BFS algorithm. What is Bipartite Graph? Bipartite graph is special graph where you can divide the vertices into two sets, such that no two vertices of the same set are connected. This is why, it's possible to color a bipartite graph by ... Read More

In C++, segmentation fault is a runtime error that occur when your program attempts to access an area of memory that it is not allowed to access. In other words, segmentation fault occur when your program tries to access memory that is beyond the limits that the operating system allocated for your program. These errors are type of access violation that can lead to crashing of program. Segmentation fault occur often with beginner programmers due to the lack of understanding of system level concepts like pointer. In this article, we will explain all the concepts related to segmentation fault, including ... Read More

The C++ functions can receive objects in multiple ways, depending upon how you want the function to interact with the object. You can either define functions that can modify the original objects or define functions that will make a copy of original object and modify the copy without affecting the original object. In this article, we will explain all the ways to pass an object a C++ function. Pass Objects to Function in C++ Here is the list of all the ways to pass an object to a function in c++ program, which we will be discussing ... Read More

Both the left shift and right shift are known as bitwise shift operators. These operators are useful for working with binary integers by shifting the bits to the left or right. Below is the mathematical representation of the left and right shift operators: // left shift operator x > n means (x/2n) What is Left Shift Operator? In the left shift operator, the left operand value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. Syntax The basic syntax of left shift operator as follows:

To calculate the execution time of a program, use the std::chrono library, which was introduced in C++11. This library has two distinct objects: time_point and duration. The time_point represents the variable names that store the start and end times of specific algorithms, functions, or loops used in the program. While duration represents the interval between two different times. The chrono library allows us to subtract these time intervals. Here, we use the high_resolution_clock::now() function, which provides accurate units of time. Calculate the Execution Time of a C++ Program To get the execution time of a program use the chrono header ... Read More

Why Global Variables are Bad in C/C++

Global variables are declared and defined outside any function in the program. They hold their values throughout the lifetime of the program and are accessible throughout its execution. When we use our non-constant global variable in our programs, it becomes harder to manage. So, it is better to use local variables because of specific functions and easier understanding. You can use the prefix g_ for global variable names to avoid naming conflicts and to indicate that the variable is global. There is another way to encapsulate the global variable by defining the variable static. Therefore, these are the reasons behind ... Read More

In C++, a vector is like a array which can be used accordingly. If you want to combine (append) two vectors, you need to add all the elements of one vector to the end of another. This is called appending a vector in a vector. To append a vector in a vector can simply be done by vector insert() method and moreover by using loops and std::move() to transfer elements. There are different ways to append one vector into another in C++. The most common ones are: Using insert() method Using ... Read More

In Python programming, it is important to check whether a given path points to a file or a directory. This check is very useful before performing operations such as reading, writing or listing contents. In this article, we’ll see the different methods to identify file types using Python. Why should we check the file type? Before interacting with a file path, it is important to confirm the type of the file to make sure that the code behaves as expected. If the code treats a directory as a file or file as a directory, it can cause errors or data ... Read More
