Difference Between Inline and Macro in C++
In this post, we will understand the difference between inline and macro in C++.InlineIt is a function in C++.It is parsed by the compiler.It can be defined inside or outside the class.It evaluates the argument only once.The compiler may not convert all functions to ‘inline’ function and expand them all.The short functions that are defined inside the class are automatically made as inline functions.An inline function inside a class can access the data members of the class.Inline function can be terminated using curly brackets.It is easy to debug.This is because error checking is done during compilation.It binds all statements in ...
Read MoreDifference Between Checked and Unchecked Exception in Java
In this post, we will understand the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions in Java.Checked ExceptionsThey occur at compile time.The compiler checks for a checked exception.These exceptions can be handled at the compilation time.It is a sub-class of the exception class.The JVM requires that the exception be caught and handled.Example of Checked exception- ‘File Not Found Exception’Unchecked ExceptionsThese exceptions occur at runtime.The compiler doesn’t check for these kinds of exceptions.These kinds of exceptions can’t be caught or handled during compilation time.This is because the exceptions are generated due to the mistakes in the program.These are not a part of the ...
Read MoreDifference Between Packages and Interfaces in Java
In this post, we will understand the difference between packages and interfaces in Java.PackagesIt is a group of classes and/or interfaces that are together.It can be created using the "Package" keyword.It can be imported.It can be done using the "import" keyword.Examplepackage package_name; public class class_name { . (body of class) . }InterfacesIt is a group of abstract methods and constants.It can be created using the "Interface" keyword.It can be extended by another interface.It can also be implemented by a class.It can be implemented using the ‘implement’ keyword.Exampleinterface interface_name { variable declaration; ...
Read MoreDifference Between Float and Double
In this post, we will understand the difference between float and double data types.floatIt has a single precision.It takes 4 bytes of memory.According to IEEE, it has 32-bit precision.It is used with graphic based libraries.It improves the processing power of programs.It is simple to manage by compilers.Its value can be between 1.2E-38 to 3.4E+38.It can have a precision of up to 6 decimal places.doubleIt has a double precision.It takes 8 bytes of memory.According to IEEE, it has 64-bit precision.Its value can be between 2.3E-308 to 1.7E+308.It can have a precision of up to 15 decimal places.It is considered as the ...
Read MoreDifference between new and malloc( )
In this post, we will understand the difference between ‘new’ and ‘malloc’.newIt is present in C++, Java, and C#.It is an operator that can be used to call the constructor of the object.It can be overloaded.If it fails, an exception is thrown.It doesn’t need the ‘sizeof’ operator.It doesn’t reallocate memory.It can initialize an object when allocating memory for it.The memory allocated by ‘new’ operator can be de-allocated using ‘delete’ operator.It reduces the execution time of the application.Example#include using namespace std; int main(){ int *val = new int(10); cout
Read MoreDifference Between extends and implements keywords in Java
In this post, we will understand the differences between ‘Extends’ and ‘Implements’ keyword.ExtendsUsing this, a class can be used as a base class, and another class inherits this base class.An interface can also inherit other interfaces using this keyword.Only one superclass can be extended by a class.Any number of interfaces can be extended by an interface.It is not required for the subclass (that extends a superclass) to override all the methods in the superclass.Following is an example of the extends keyword −Exampleclass Super { ..... ..... } class Sub extends Super { ...
Read MoreDifference Between HashMap and LinkedHashMap in Java
In this post, we will understand the difference between HashMap and LinkedHashMap in Java.HashMapIn this structure, the order of insertion is not preserved.It uses the HashTable to store maps.It extends the ‘AbstractMap’.It implements the ‘Map’ interface.This was introduced in JDK 2.0.It has a relatively low overhead.LinkedHashMapIn this structure, the order of insertion is not preserved.It uses the HashTable and Linked List to store maps.It extends the ‘Hashmap’.It implements the ‘Map’ interface.This was introduced in JDK 4.0.It has a relatively higher overhead.This is because it has to maintain the order of entries in the map structure.
Read MoreDifference Between malloc and calloc
In this post, we will understand the difference between malloc and calloc.MallocThe method ‘malloc’ is used to assign a block of memory when it is requested.It doesn’t clear the memory.It only initializes the allocated memory when explicitly requested.It allocates memory of a specific ‘size’.This size is passed as parameter to it.This size is allocated from a heap.It performs its job quickly.Examplevoid *malloc(size_t size);CallocIt assigns the requested memory to multiple blocks.This memory allocated is initiated to zero.This initialization to 0 is done by ‘calloc’ method.It allocates memory to the required operation of a specific ‘size’, i.e num * size.The ‘num’ refers ...
Read MoreDifference Between Stack and Queue
In this post, we will understand the difference between Stack and Queue.StackThey are based on LIFO- Last In First Out.This means the element inserted at the end is the first element to get deleted.Insertion and deletion happen in a stack from one end only, i.e the top.Insert operation is known as ‘push’ operation.Delete operation is known as ‘pop’ operation.A pointer is used to access the list, it is known as ‘top’.The ‘top’ points to the last element of the list.It helps work with problems associated with recursion.Representation of Stack (LIFO)QueuesThey are based on FIFO- First In First Out.This means the ...
Read MoreTimer Interrupts in Arduino
As discussed in another article, Timers are basically counters. When they reach the end of the count, they overflow. We can use this event to generate an interrupt. Now, the traditional way of generating the interrupts in Arduino involve changing a lot of registers. Luckily, we have libraries for making our lives easy.We will use the TimerOne library for generating interrupts on Timer1. Similarly, there is the TimerThree library for generating interrupts on Timer3 (not applicable for Arduino Uno).Go to Tools -> Manage Libraries and search for TimerOne and TimerThree (optional) and click Install.Next, import the library in your code ...
