In C++, when a class inherits from another class, it inherits all members from parent class, but their accessibility are based on access specifiers. Key Points on What Inherits from Parent Class Following are some points on derived class inherits from its parent: The derived class can inherit data members, member functions of base class. If the data members are public, they can be accessed by derived class, same class and outside the class. If data members are protected, they can be accessed by derived and same ... Read More

Both and "limits.h" are header files in C and C++ that are used to define constants related to data type limits. Header files are usually created with a .h extension and are used to declare functions, variables, and other entities without having a main() function. You can also create custom header files in C and C++. The header file is specific to the C++ language, whereas "limits.h" belongs to the C language. Let's discuss them one by one with the help of a suitable example to understand them and their uses in a program in a better way: ... Read More

In C, we have various methods to clear the console or output screen and one of them is clrscr() function. It clears the screen as function invokes. It is declared in "conio.h" header file. There are some other methods too like system (cls) and system ("clear") and these are declared in "stdlib.h" header file. Syntax Following are the list of syntaxes to clear the console in C programming language as follows: clrscr(); Or, system("cls"); Or, system("clear"); Let’s say we have "new.txt" file with the following content: 0, hell!o 1, hello! 2, gfdtrhtrhrt 3, ...

The function mbrlen() is used to get the length of multibyte character. It returns the size of multibyte character pointed by the pointer.Here is the syntax of mbrlen() in C language, size_t mbrlen(const char* pointer, size_t size, mbstate_t* state);Here, pointer − Pointer to the first byte of multibyte character.size − Number of bytes to check.state − Pointer to the object of mbstate_tHere is an example of mbrlen() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include #include int main(void) {    char a[] = "s";    mbstate_t s;    int len;    len = mbrlen(a, 5, &s);    printf("Length of ...

The function raise() is used to send the signals to the program. The predefined function signal() is invoked. It is implemented to check whether it will ignore the signal or invoke the signal handler. This is declared in “signal.h” header file. It returns zero, if successful otherwise, non-zero value.Here is the syntax of raise() in C language, int raise(int signal)Here, signal − The signal number to be invoked.Here is an example of raise() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include void handler(int sig) {    printf("Signal received : %d", sig); } int main() {    signal(SIGILL, handler);    printf("Sending ...

The function atexit() is used to call the function after the normal exit of program. The program is called without any parameters. The function atexit() is called after exit(). The termination function can be called anywhere in the program. This function is declared in “stdlib.h” header file.Here is the syntax of atexit() in C language, int atexit(void (*function_name)(void))Here, function_name − The function is to be called at the time of termination of program.Here is an example of atexit() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include void func1 (void) {    printf("Exit of function 1"); } void func2 (void) { ...

The function ungetc() takes a character and pushes it back to the stream so that the character could be read again.Here is the syntax of ungetc() in C language, int ungetc(int character, FILE *stream)Here, character − The character to be pushed back to stream.stream − The pointer to the file object.Here is an example of ungetc() in C language, Example#include int main() {    int c;    while ((c = getchar()) != '0')    putchar(c);    ungetc(c, stdin);    c = getchar();    putchar(c);    puts("");    printf("The End!");    return 0; }Outputs a b c t h 0 ...

The function memcpy() is used to copy a memory block from one location to another. One is source and another is destination pointed by the pointer. This is declared in “string.h” header file in C language. It does not check overflow.Here is the syntax of memcpy() in C language, void *memcpy(void *dest_str, const void *src_str, size_t number)Here, dest_str − Pointer to the destination array.src_str − Pointer to the source array.number − The number of bytes to be copied from source to destination.Here is an example of memcpy() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main () {   ... Read More

The function memmove() is used to move the whole memory block from one position to another. One is source and another is destination pointed by the pointer. This is declared in “string.h” header file in C language.Here is the syntax of memmove() in C language, void *memmove(void *dest_str, const void *src_str, size_t number)Here, dest_str − Pointer to the destination array.src_str − Pointer to the source array.number − The number of bytes to be copied from source to destination.Here is an example of memmove() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main () {    char a[] = "Firststring"; ...

Given a string like "-27.89", we can convert it into a double value such as -27.890000. In this article, we use various approaches from C/C++ library functions to perform this string into double conversion: Using atof() Function Using strtod() Function Using stod() Function Using stringstream() Function String to Double Conversion Using atof() Function You can use atof() function of C library that accepts the parameter of string value to convert the string into a double. Example In this example, we illustrate atof() to convert string into double. #include #include int main() { ... Read More
