g++GNU C++ Compiler ( g++ ) is a compiler in Linux which is used to compile C++ programs. It compiles both files with extension .c and .cpp as C++ files.The following is the compiler command to compile C++ program.g++ program.cpp -o filenameHere,filename − The name of file with .c or .cpp extension.The following is an example of using g++ compiler.Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; int main() {    int a = 20;    cout

Static variables are variables that remain in memory while the program is running i.e. their lifetime is the entire program run. This is different than automatic variables as they remain in memory only when their function is running and are destroyed when the function is over.The static variables are stored in the data segment of the memory. The data segment is a part of the virtual address space of a program.All the static variables that do not have an explicit initialization or are initialized to zero are stored in the uninitialized data segment( also known as the BSS segment).

Both pre-increment and post-increment are used to represent the expression of increasing a value by adding 1. Their behavior are different because pre-increment (++i) increases the value before it is used in an expression, while post-increment (i++) increases it after. Below is the key-terms of pre-increment and post-increment in C/C++: Pre-increment (++i) : Before assigning the value to the variable, the value is incremented by one. Post-increment (i++) : After assigning the value to the variable, the value is incremented. Syntax of Using Pre and Post Increment Operators The following is the basic syntax of pre-increment and post-increment ... Read More

Given are the two integer variables, a and b. To calculate the sum without using any arithmetic operators such as + or -. We can achieve this by using bitwise operations, which allow us to calculate the sum. Here, we have some approaches in C and C++ to solve this problem as follows: Sum of Two Integers Using Bitwise XOR Sum of Two Integers Using Vector Sum of Two Integers Using malloc() and free() Sum of Two Integers Using Bitwise XOR (^) To perform the sum ...

In C++, converting a single character into an integer is possible using various techniques like STL functions say atoi() and stoi(). Also, you can solve this with the help of ASCII value or stringstream function. Converting Single Char into Int Here, we have list down of four approaches that help to convert the single character into an integer form as follows: Using ASCII Subtraction Using stoi() Function Using atoi() Function Using stringstream Function Using ASCII Subtraction ASCII subtraction converts a digit character to an integer by subtracting '0' from it. This works because digit characters are stored sequentially ... Read More

In C language, the void pointers are converted implicitly to the object pointer type. The function malloc() returns void * in C89 standard. In earlier versions of C, malloc() returns char *. In C++ language, by default malloc() returns int value. So, the pointers are converted to object pointers using explicit casting.The following is the syntax of allocating memory in C language.pointer_name = malloc(size);Here, pointer_name − Any name given to the pointer.size − Size of allocated memory in bytes.The following is an example of malloc() in C language.Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    int n = 4, ...

In C++, variables are name given by the user to store data. While datatype is used to declare and initialize a variable that allocates memory to that variable. There are various ways to initialize the data types such as int, char, float, etc. to allocate the memory to that variable. Syntax Following is the syntax of variable initialization in C++: datatype variable_name = value; Here, datatype : The datatype of variables like int, char, float, etc. variable_name : This is the name of variable given by user. value : Any value to initialize the variable. By default, it ... Read More

To calculate the execution time of a program, use the std::chrono library, which was introduced in C++11. This library has two distinct objects: time_point and duration. The time_point represents the variable names that store the start and end times of specific algorithms, functions, or loops used in the program. While duration represents the interval between two different times. The chrono library allows us to subtract these time intervals. Here, we use the high_resolution_clock::now() function, which provides accurate units of time. Calculate the Execution Time of a C++ Program To get the execution time of a program use the chrono header ... Read More
