Can main() be overloaded in C++?
In every C/C++ program, execution starts from the main() function. Defining multiple main() functions will result in a compilation error. Can main() be Overloaded in C++? No, we cannot overload the main() function in C++ because main() serves as the entry point of any C++ program and must follow a predefined prototype. While C++ does support function overloading (i.e., multiple functions with the same name but different parameters), this does not apply to the main() function. If you try to create multiple main() functions will result in a compilation error due to invalid overloading. The following are the only two ...
Read MoreWhat are Boolean Literals in C++?
Boolean Literals In C++, Boolean literals are the values, which are assigned to variables of the Boolean data type. A Boolean literal represents two values: true or false, which are internally represented as 1 and 0 respectively. A Boolean literal occupies 1 byte (8 bits) of memory and is used for conditions, flags and logical checks. Declaring Boolean Variables You can declare the boolean variables and assign the boolean literals to them by the given following. In this variable1 and variable2 is assigned with boolean literals true and false respectively in C++. bool variable1 = true; bool variable2 = false; ...
Read MoreHow to create a dynamic array of integers in C++ using the new keyword
Dynamic arrays are a type of array that can change their size when new elements are added or removed. They are created using pointers and memory management operators like new and delete. In this article, we will learn how to create and use a dynamic array in C++. What is Dynamic Array? A dynamic array is an array that can change its size during runtime. This is different from a static arrays, which have a fixed size determined by the programmer at compile time. Dynamic arrays are used when the size of the array is not known at compile ...
Read Morefmax() and fmin() in C++
The fmax() and fmin() functions in C++ are used to check the maximum or minimum of two floating-point numbers. These functions are defined under the header file of the C++ standard library. C++ fmax() function The fmax() is used to compare and return the larger of two floating-point values. These floating point values can be float, double, and long double. Syntax data_type fmax(data_type value_1, data_type value_2); Here, data_type could be float, double and long double. C++ fmin() function The fmin() is used to compare and return the smaller of two floating-point values. These floating point values can be float, ...
Read MoreC++ Program to Implement Naor-Reingold Pseudo Random Function
The Naor-Reingold pseudo-random function uses a mathematical formula for generating random numbers using an array of secret keys('a') and bits of an input number('x'). The generated random numbers can be repeated based on the array of secret keys. In this article, our task is to generate random numbers using the Naor-Reingold pseudo-random function. Formula of Naor-Reingold function The formula for generating random numbers using Naor-Reingold Pseudo-Random Function is given below: Example Here is an example of generating 5 random numbers using Naor-Reingold Function: Input: p = 31, g = 3, n = 4, a = [1, ...
Read MoreC++ Program to Calculate Difference Between Two Time Period
There are two time periods provided in the form of hours, minutes and seconds. Then their difference is calculated. For example: Time period 1 = 8:6:2 Time period 2 = 3:9:3 Time Difference is 4:56:59 C++ Program to Find Difference Between Two Times To find the time differences then check whether we need to borrow time, for example, adding 60 seconds if the second time has more seconds. Then just subtract the hours, minutes, and seconds of the second time from the first time to get the result. Example In this example, you will see the time difference of ...
Read MorePure Function in C++
Pure functions always return the same result for the same argument values. They only return the result and there are no extra side effects like argument modification, I/O stream, output generation etc. Following are the examples of pure vs impure functions: Pure Function: sin(), strlen(), sqrt(), max(), pow(), floor() etc. Impure Function: rand(), time(), etc. There are many pure functions in C language such as strlen(), strcmp(), strchr(), strrchr(), strstr(), toupper(), tolower(), abs(), sin(), cos(), sqrt(), exp(), log(), pow(), fabs(), etc. Here we are explaining a few pure functions with ...
Read MoreGenerating random number in a range in C
To print random numbers within a range, we will have two input variables where we need to set the maximum and minimum values. Using these two values, we can display a random value within the specified range. Example Following is the input-output statement to understand the range of a random number: Input: min = 4, max = 14 Output: 8, 10, 7 Explanation: Any numeric value between 4 and 14 can be displayed in the specified range. Generate Random Number Within a Range Using rand() with Modulus The rand() function generates the random number while modulus operator return ...
Read MoreHow to declare a global variable in C++
In C++, a global variable is a variable that is declared outside of any function or class. It can be accessible from any part of the function. Declaration of a Global Variable The global variables are declared after the heading file inclusions section and before starting the main() function. The declaration is simple just like a normal variable declaration. You need to use data type and variable name. You can also initialize them if required. Syntax The following is the basic syntax of declaring global variable: datatype global_var_name = var_value; Example of Global Variable Declaration In this example, we ...
Read MoreC++ Program to Check the Connectivity of Directed Graph Using DFS
To check if a directed graph is connected or not, we need to check if there exists a path between every pair of vertices. A directed graph (or digraph) is a graph where each edge has a direction, edges are in ordered pairs, and edges traverse from the source vertex (the tail) to the destination vertex (the head). In this article, we have a directed graph with five vertices and its respective adjacency matrix. Our task is to use Depth-first Search(DFS) to check the connectivity of the given graph. Example of Connected Graph In the figure given below, we have ...
