C++ is a middle-level language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. It is just an enhancement to C language and an object-oriented language. C# is modern and object-oriented language developed by Anders Hejlsberg. It is a part of the .NET framework. It is designed for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). It is also a popular language. Difference between C++ and C# Both languages are object-oriented languages. C++ has low level of abstraction while C# has high level of abstraction. In C++, the program can be coded for any platform while in C#, the program is targeted towards windows ... Read More

Exception handling is used to handle the exceptions. We can use try catch block to protect the code. Exception can be thrown anywhere within the code block. The keyword “throw” is used to throw an exception.Here is an example of throw in C++ language,Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; int display(int x, int y) {    if( y == 0 ) {       throw "Division by zero condition!";    }    return (x/y); } int main () {    int a = 50;    int b = 0;    int c = 0;    try {       c = display(a, b);       cout

C++11 is a version of standard C++ language. It was approved by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) on 12 August 2011 then C++14 and C++17. C++11 makes several additions to the core language. Visual C++ implements the vast majority of features in C++11. Some of the following C++11 features in Visual Studio 2015 − nullptr − In the previous nullptr, zero used to be the value and it had a drawback ofimplicit conversion to integral value. The null pointer literal is represented by std::nullptr_t. In this nullptr, no implicit conversion exists. Lambdas − The lambda expression allows to ... Read More

Both malloc() and free() are used to manage memory at runtime. The malloc() is very useful because it allocates memory based on the program needs, while free() releases the memory. But the free() can lead to memory leakage, which is one of its disadvantages. What is malloc()? The function malloc() is used to allocate the requested size of bytes and it returns a pointer to the first byte of allocated memory. It returns null pointer, if it fails. Syntax Following is the basic syntax of malloc(): pointer_name = (cast-type*) malloc(size); Here, pointer_name : Any ... Read More

new/ deleteThe new operator requests for the memory allocation in heap. If the sufficient memory is available, it initializes the memory to the pointer variable and returns its address.The delete operator is used to deallocate the memory. User has the privilege to deallocate the created pointer variable by this delete operator.Here is an example of new/delete operator in C++ language,Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; int main () {    int *ptr1 = NULL;    ptr1 = new int;    float *ptr2 = new float(299.121);    int *ptr3 = new int[28];    *ptr1 = 28;    cout

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

Vectors are similar to the dynamic arrays but vectors can resize. They are sequence containers that can change their size according to the insertion or deletion of elements. Containers are the objects which holds the data of same type. Vectors may allocate some extra storage for the future growth of elements in the vector. Its elements are stored in the contiguous memory. The data is entered at the end of vector. In this article, we will show you how to print the contents of a vector in C++. Example Scenario: std::vector vec = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; You ... Read More

No, the operator < takes same time to execute as operator

In C/C++, char represents a single character, whereas int is an integer that can store both positive and negative values, but not fractional or decimal values. If you are given a character and want to convert it into an integer, it is easy and can be achieved with the different approaches. In this article, we will learn how we can convert a given character to an integer with different approaches. The following are some of the ways to convert a character to an integer: Using sscanf() Function Using atoi() Function ... Read More
