In C++, we can use 16-bit character representations. The c16rtomb() function is used to convert 16-bit character representation to narrow multi-byte character representation. We can find this function inside the uchar.h header file.This function takes three parameters. These are −The string where multi-byte character will be stored16-bit character to convertThe pointer of type mbstate_t object. which is used to interpret multibyte string.This function returns number of bytes written to the character array, when it is successful, otherwise returns -1. Let us see an example to get better idea.Example Live Demo#include #include #include using namespace std; int main() { ... Read More

Here we will see one data-structure with n elements, and O(1) operations. So the operations will take constant amount of time to execute.The data structure will hold n elements (from 0 to n-1). The data can be in any order. The Insertion, deletion and searching will take O(1) amount of time.To solve this problem, we will use one Boolean array. This will indicate that the item is present or not at position i. If the item is present, it will hold 1, otherwise 0.Algorithminitialization(n)begin    fill all elements of the Boolean array as 0 endinsert(i)begin    set element at index ... Read More

Here we will see one C programming language puzzle question. Suppose we have two numbers 48 and 96. We have to add the first number after the second one. So final result will be like 9648. But we cannot use any logical, arithmetic, string related operations, also cannot use any pre-defined functions. So how can we do that?This is easy. We can do by using Token Pasting operator(##) in C. The Token Pasting operator is a preprocessor operator. It sends commands to compiler to add or concatenate two tokens into one string. We use this operator at the macro definition.Example Live ... Read More

In this section we will see how we can find the 2’s complement using the XOR operation on a binary string. The 2’s complement is actually the 1’s complement + 1. We will use XOR operation to get the 1’s complement.We will traverse the string from LSb, and look for 0. We will flip all 1’s to 0 until we get a 0. Then flip the found 0.We will traverse from LSb. Then ignoring all 0’s until we get 1. Ignoring the first 1, we will toggle all bits using the XOR operation.Algorithmget2sComp(bin)begin    len := length of the binary ... Read More

In this problem, we have to find some binary numbers which have no consecutive 1s. In a 3-bit binary string, there are three binary numbers 011, 110, 111, who have consecutive 1s, and five numbers are there which have no consecutive 1s. So after applying this algorithm for 3-bit numbers, the answer will be 5.If a[i] be the set of binary numbers, whose number of bits are i, and not containing any consecutive 1s, and b[i] is the set of binary number, where number of bits are i, and containing consecutive 1s, then there are recurrence relations like −a[i] := ...

In C, the "#" and "##" are the pre-processor operators that are used to convert a macro parameter to a String Literal. The macro parameters are the parameters of the macro definition, which are declared using the #define directive. The "#" operator is known as the Stringize operator, whereas the "##" operator is known as the Token Pasting operator. The #define Directive in C The #define directive is a preprocessor command that is used to create macros in the C programming language. Here is a syntax to create macros: #define MACRO_NAME replacement_text Or #define MACRO_NAME(param1, param2, …paramN) replacement_text ... Read More

Here we will see how to write a code where two functions are present, and one function will be executed before the main function, and another function will be executed after main function. These features are used to do some startup task before executing main, and some clean up task after executing main.To do this task we have to put attribute for these two functions. When the attribute is constructor attribute, then it will be executed before main(), and when the attribute is destructor type, then it will be executed after main().We are using GCC functions. The function is __attribute__(). ... Read More

A simple calculator allows the user to perform basic math operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division . The user inputs two numbers and selects an operation. For example, if the user enters 4 and 3, then selects the "+" operation, the calculator will perform addition and output the result, 7. Similarly, if the user selects "-", the program will perform subtraction (4 - 3 = 1), and so on. In C++, this can be done using conditional statements and basic math operators. In this article, we will show you how to write a simple calculator program in ... Read More

The area of circumcircle of a right-angle triangle when the hypotenuse(H) of the triangle is given is found using the formula πH2/4.This formula is derived using the fact that the circumcircle touches all the corners of the triangle, in this case the maximum length between two points in the hypotheses which passes through the center of the circle. This makes the hypotenuse the diameter of the circle.This is why the area of circle which is πd2/4. (d = 2r) replaces the d by H.ExampleHypotenuse = 8Area of circle = 50.26Example Code Live Demo#include int main(void) {    int H = ... Read More

The area of a circle inscribed inside an equilateral triangle is found using the mathematical formula πa2/12.Lets see how this formula is derived, Formula to find the radius of the inscribed circle = area of the triangle / semi-perimeter of triangle.Area of triangle of side a = (√3)a2/4Semi-perimeter of triangle of side a = 3a/2According to formula, Radius of circle = (√3)a22/4 / 3a/2 = a/2√3Area of circle = πr2 = πa2/12Example Code Live Demo#include int main(void) {    int a = 5;    float pie = 3.14;    float area = (float)((pie*a*a)/12);    printf("the area of circle inscribed in ...
