Why should I not #include \'bits/stdc++.h\'?
The is a header file that includes all the standard C++ library. It is used during coding contests, as it helps in saving time while solving the problem since programmers do not have to remember all the header files. In the software engineering approach, we should reduce the use of this header file, as it includes lots of files, and sometimes that may not be required in the program. So it may increase the compile time. In this article, we are going to discuss why we should not use the header file ...
Read MoreWhen are static objects destroyed in C++?
C++ Static Object A static object is declared with the static keyword. The static objects are initialized only once and stored in the static storage area. The static objects are only destroyed when the program terminates i.e. they live until program termination. In this article, we will understand static object, their types, and their examples. Syntax of Static Object The syntax for declaring a static object is as follows: Animal cat; //object declaration static Animal dog; //static object declaration Types of Static Objects The static objects can be of two types, which are mentioned below: ...
Read MoreHow to print size of array parameter in a function in C++?
To print the size of an array parameter in a function in C++, we will use the typeOf() operator. In this article, we have passed an array as an argument to the function. Our task is to print the size of this array in C++. Printing Size of Static Array Parameter When we pass an array as an argument of function in C++, it is considered as a pointer. The sizeOf() operator returns the size of the pointer, depending on the system(64-bit or 32-bit) rather than returning the size of the array. Here is a code example explaining this. ...
Read MoreWhat is the lifetime of a static variable in a C++ function?
The lifetime of a static variable in a C++ function exists till the program executes. We can say the lifetime of a static variable is the lifetime of the program. The static variable is a variable that is declared using the static keyword. The space for the static variable is allocated only one time, and this is used for the entirety of the program. In this article, we will understand the lifetime of the static variable and the reason behind its lifetime. Why do Static Variable Exists until program execution? A static variable is initialized ...
Read MoreAccessing protected members in a C++ derived class
A class in C++ has the following access modifiers: public, private, and protected, which contain the corresponding class members. The protected members in a class are similar to private members as they cannot be accessed from outside the class, but they can be accessed by derived classes or child classes, while private members cannot. In this article, we will see various examples of how to access protected members in C++ and how it is different from private members. Accessing Protected Variable in C++ In this example, we have initialized a protected variable value in the parent class. We ...
Read MoreDifference Between Structure and Class
In C++, both structures (struct) and classes (class) are user-defined data types, where they both give access to group different data elements (variables) and functions together. However, they still possess a few differences between them. In this article, we will see and go through its differences. Structure (struct) The struct is a user-defined data type, which allows the grouping of variables of different data types, with the members being public by default. This is commonly used to represent simple data structures, where encapsulation is not necessary. A struct can contain data members and member functions, but its primary use is ...
Read MoreCan main function call itself in C++?
The main() function can call itself in C++. This is an example of recursion, i.e., a function calling itself. In recursion, a function calls itself over and over again with modified arguments until it reaches its base case or the termination condition, where the recursion stops. In this article, we will go through three C++ examples where the main function calls itself. Counting Numbers up to N To count numbers up to 'n', we will recursively call the main function until it reaches 'n'. Example The following example calls the main() function recursively to print the numbers from 1 ...
Read MoreWhat is the meaning of prepended double colon “::” in C++?
The prepended double colon (::) is also known as the scope resolution operator. The scope resolution operator serves various purposes in C++. In this article, we will discuss the applications of the scope resolution operator in C++ with example codes of each application. Uses of Scope Resolution Operator in C++ The scope resolution operator serves various purposes in C++. We have listed below 5 applications of the scope resolution operator: The scope resolution operator is used to define a function outside the class. It is used to access a global ...
Read MoreC++ Program to Perform the Shaker Sort
Shaker sort is a variation of bubble sort and is both a stable and comparison based sorting algorithm. The shaker sort is also known as cocktail sort or bidirectional bubble sort as it sorts the array in both directions. In this article, we have an unsorted array. Our task is to implement the shaker sort in C++ to sort the given array. Example The following example sorts the unsorted array using the shaker sort: Input: array = {5, 1, 4, 2, 8, 0, 2} Output: Sorted array = {0, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 8} The ...
Read MoreC++ Program to Perform Stooge Sort
Stooge Sort is a recursive sorting algorithm used to sort the given data. The stooge sort divides the array into two overlapping parts, 2/3 each and then sort the array in three steps by sorting first then second and again first part. The worst case time complexity of this algorithm is O(n^2.7095). In this article, we have an unsorted array. Our task is to implement the stooge sort algorithm for sorting the given array in C++. Example Here is an example of sorting the given array using stooge sort: Input: array = {5, 3, 8, 4, 2, 7} ...
