In C/C++, we usually use the sizeof operator to find the size of an array. However, once an array is passed to a function, its size is lost. So, how can we find the size of an array without using sizeof? For example, consider this array: int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; Without using sizeof, we can use a loop to count the number of elements in the array. In this article, we'll show you different methods to find the size of an array in C or C++ without using sizeof, with clear and simple examples. ... Read More

In multidimensional array, the array should have dimension more that 1. The following diagram shows the memory allocation strategy for a multidimensional array with dimension 3 x 3 x 3.This is a C++ program to initialize a multidimensional array.AlgorithmBegin    Initialize the elements of a multidimensional array.    Print the size of the array.    Display the content of the array. EndExample#include using namespace std; int main() {    int r, c;    int a[][2] = {{3,1},{7,6}};    cout

This is a C++ program return a local array from a function.AlgorithmBegin We can use dynamically allocated array to return a local array from function Array(). Print the elements of the array. EndExample Code Live Demo#include using namespace std; int* Array() { int* a = new int[100]; a[0] = 7; a[1] = 6; a[2] = 4; a[3] = 5; return a; } int main() { int* p = Array(); cout

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 only safe way is to check for overflow before it occurs. There are some hacky ways of checking for integer overflow though. So if you're aiming for detecting overflow in unsigned int addition, you can check if the result is actually lesser than either values added. So for example, Example Codeunsigned int x, y; unsigned int value = x + y; bool overflow = value < x; // Alternatively "value < y" should also workThis is because if x and y are both unsigned ints, if added and they overflow, their values can't be greater than either of them ...

Reversing a string means, moving first character to last, second character to second last and so on. In this article we will discuss how to reverse a string in place using C/C++ program. In the "in place" string reversing, we are not allowed take extra memory to store the string while running program. First of all, let's understand our problem statement:We are given a character string as input and we need to find and output the reverse string of the given string. For example: // Input : a character string "This is a string" //Output : Reverse of ... Read More

In this section we will see how to convert a number (integer or float or any other numeric type data) to a string.The logic is very simple. Here we will use the sprintf() function. This function is used to print some value or line into a string, but not in the console. This is the only difference between printf() and sprintf(). Here the first argument is the string buffer. where we want to save our data.Input: User will put some numeric value say 42.26 Output: This program will return the string equivalent result of that number like “42.26”AlgorithmStep 1 − ...

C++ provides multiple ways to concatenate strings. Macro string concatenation is one of such way. In this article, we will learn how to use C++ preprocessor macros to concatenate strings and tokens. Understanding Macros in C++ In C++, macros are small pieces of code that are defined using the preprocessor directive #define. Macros are generally used to define variables, constants, functions, and other code blocks. When the code is compiled, the preprocessor replaces every occurrence of the macro with its defined value before actual compilation begins. Let's see an example of a macro definition and its usage. // ... Read More

This is another tricky problem. In this program, we will see how to print a string using C where no quotation marks are used.Here we are using macro function. We are defining a macro function like#define getString(x) #xThe getString() is a macro function. It returns x by converting it into a string. The # before x is denoting that the function will convert x into a string.Input: Take one string without quote Output: Print that string into consoleAlgorithmStep 1:Take a string without quote Step 2: Use macro function to print it into a string Step 3: EndExample Code Live Demo#include #define ...

In this section we will see how to copy a string to other string without using strcpy() function. To solve this problem we can write our own function that can act like strcpy(), but here we will follow some trick. We will use another library function to copy a string into another.The logic is very simple. Here we will use the sprintf() function. This function is used to print some value or line into a string, but not in the console. This is the only difference between printf() and sprintf(). Here the first argument is the string buffer. where we ... Read More
