A factorial of a number defines the non-negative integer say n that calculate the product of a number by every positive integer until it reaches 1. The symbol of factorial is (!). Mathematically, it is represented by: n! = n x (n-1) x (n-2) x ... x 1 For eg. factorial of an integer 30! = 265252859812191058636308480000000. 30! = 30x29x28x27x26x25x24x23x22x21x20x19x18x17x16x15x14x13x12x11x10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 A non-negative integer is defined by any whole number that is 0 or positive (not a fraction or decimal). What is Large Number? In context of calculating the factorial number, the large number denotes the n value ... Read More

The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two numbers that precede it. ExampleBelow is the mathematical example to understand the logic of the Fibonacci number: Suppose, n = 3, then, F(0) = 0 F(1) = 1 F(2) = F(1) + F(0) = 1 + 0 = 1 F(3) = F(2) + F(1) = 1 + 1 = 2 .... .... So, Fibonacci numbers from F(0) to F(3): 0, 1, 1, 2.In this article, we will learn how to implement a C++ program to generate a Fibonacci series using recursion. ... Read More

return statement The C++ return statement terminates the execution of function and it returns the control to the calling function. It calls the constructor as well as the destructor. It returns an integer value for “int main()”. The following is the syntax of return statement. return expression; Here, expression − The expression or any value to be returned. The following is an example of return statement. Example #include using namespace std; class Method { public: Method() { cout

The following is an example to swap strings.Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    char st1[] = "My 1st string";    char st2[] = "My 2nd string";    char swap;    int i = 0;    while(st1[i] != '\0') {       swap = st1[i];       st1[i] = st2[i];       st2[i] = swap;       i++;    }    printf("After swapping s1 : %s", st1);    printf("After swapping s2 : %s", st2);    return 0; }OutputAfter swapping s1 : My 2nd string After swapping s2 : My 1st stringIn the above program, two ...

When static keyword is used, variable or data members or functions can not be modified again. It is allocated for the lifetime of program. Static functions can be called directly by using class name.Static variables are initialized only once. Compiler persist the variable till the end of the program. Static variable can be defined inside or outside the function. They are local to the block. The default value of static variable is zero. The static variables are alive till the execution of the program.Here is the syntax of static variables in C language, static datatype variable_name = value;Here, datatype − ... Read More

The printf() and scanf() functions are required for output and input respectively in C. Both of these functions are library functions and are defined in the stdio.h header file.Details about the return values of the printf() and scanf() functions are given as follows −The printf() functionThe printf() function is used for printing the output. It returns the number of characters that are printed. If there is some error then it returns a negative value.A program that demonstrates this is as follows −Example Live Demo#include int main(){    char str[] = "THE SKY IS BLUE";    printf("The value returned ...

Details about getchar(), fgetc() and getc() functions in C programming are given as follows −The getchar() functionThe getchar() function obtains a character from stdin. It returns the character that was read in the form of an integer or EOF if an error occurs.A program that demonstrates this is as follows −Example Live Demo#include int main (){    int i;    printf("Enter a character: ");    i = getchar();    printf("The character entered is: ");    putchar(i);    return(0); }OutputThe output of the above program is as follows −Enter a character: G The character entered is: GNow ...

The function pow() is used to calculate the power raised to the base value. It takes two arguments. It returns the power raised to the base value. It is declared in “math.h” header file.Here is the syntax of pow() in C language, double pow(double val1, double val2);Here, val1 − The base value whose power is to be calculated.val2 − The power value.Here is an example of pow() in C language, Example#include #include int main() {    double x = 5.5;    double y = 4.0;    double p;    p = pow(x, y);    printf("The value : %lf", p);   ...

A static function in C is a function that has a scope that is limited to its object file. This means that the static function is only visible in its object file. A function can be declared as static function by placing the static keyword before the function name.An example that demonstrates this is given as follows −There are two files first_file.c and second_file.c. The contents of these files are given as follows −Contents of first_file.cstatic void staticFunc(void) {    printf("Inside the static function staticFunc() "); }Contents of second_file.cint main() {    staticFunc();    return 0; }Now, if the above ...
