What is the role of C++ in Computer Science?
C++ is a programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 at Bell Labs. C++ is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It is a superset of C, and that virtually any legal C program is a legal C++ program. C++ runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX.It was designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained and large systems, with performance, efficiency and flexibility of use as its design highlights. It has been used in the ...
Read MoreWhy C++ is the Best Programming Language?
C++ is known to be a very powerful language. C++ allows you to have a lot of control as to how you use computer resources, so in the right hands, its speed and ability to cheaply use resources should be able to surpass other languages. Thanks to C++'s performance, it is often used to develop game engines, games, and desktop apps. Many AAA title video games are built with C++.C++'s greatest strength is how scalable it could be, so apps that are very resource intensive are usually built with it. As a statically typed language, C++ is generally more performant ...
Read MoreWhen is a semicolon after } mandated in C++ Program?
A semicolon after a close brace is mandatory if this is the end of a declaration. In case of braces, they have used in declarations of class, enum, struct, and initialization syntax. At the end of each of these statements, we need to put a semicolon. For example, class X {}; // same declaration for struct as well enum Y {}; int z[] = {1, 2}; A semicolon by itself is an empty statement, and you'll be able to add additional ones anywhere a statement is legal. Therefore it might be legal to place a ...
Read MoreWhat does 'using namespace std' mean in C++?
Consider a situation, when we have two persons with the same name, Piyush, in the same class. Whenever we need to differentiate them definitely we would have to use some additional information along with their name, like either the area, if they live in a different area or their mother’s or father’s name, etc.The same situation can arise in your C++ applications. For example, you might be writing some code that has a function called xyz() and there is another library available which is also having same function xyz(). Now the compiler has no way of knowing which version of ...
Read MoreDifference between C++ string constants and character constants
In C++, a character in single quotes is a character literal. It's of type char. For example, 'a' is of type char with a value 97 on an ASCII based system.A character or a string of characters together in double quotes represent a string literal. It's of type const char[] and refers to an array of size length of string + 1. That extra character is there for marking the string's ending.String literals can be arbitrarily long, such as "abcdefg". Character literals almost always contain just a single character. When these are being printed, string literals are printed till the ...
Read MoreWhat is JavaScript garbage collection?
JavaScript automatically allocates memory, while a variable is declared. Garbage collection finds memory no longer used by the application and releases it since it is of no use. Garbage collector uses algorithms like Mark-and-sweep algorithm, to find the memory no longer used.This algorithm is used to free memory when an object is unreachable. The garbage collector identifies the objects, which are reachable or unreachable. These unreachable objects get the treatment from the automatic garbage collector.The Reference-Counting Garbage Collection is also used for garbage collection in JavaScript. The object will get automatically garbage collected if there are no references to it. ...
Read MoreHistory of C++ language
The C++ programming language has a history going back to 1979, when Bjarne Stroustrup was doing work for his Ph.D. thesis. He began work on "C with Classes", which as the name implies was meant to be a superset of the C language. His goal was to add object-oriented programming into the C language, which was and still is a language well-respected for its portability without sacrificing speed or low-level functionality.His language included classes, basic inheritance, inlining, default function arguments, and strong type checking in addition to all the features of the C language. The first C with Classes compiler ...
Read MoreWhat are the prerequisites for learning Java?
In fact, you can directly start learning Java without any prior knowledge of programming language. But, the syntax in Java is similar to the syntax of the C programming language, therefore, Knowing C language helps to get hold of Java quickly. Having introduced to object-oriented principles before starting Java, also helps in the understanding of the language so, having an idea on object-oriented languages such as C++ also helps. In short, if you know C or C++ it will be a little bit easier to cope with Java technology.
Read MoreWhat is meant by Java being platform-independent?
When you compile Java programs using javac compiler it generates bytecode. We need to execute this bytecode using JVM (Java Virtual machine) Then, JVM translates the Java bytecode to machine understandable code.You can download JVM’s (comes along with JDK or JRE) suitable to your operating system and, once you write a Java program you can run it on any system using JVM.
Read MoreWhat are the platforms that support Java programming language?
Java runs on operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX/Linux like HP-Unix, Sun Solaris, Redhat Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.
