Scope Resolution Operator vs this pointer in C++
Both scope resolution operator and 'this' pointer are used for different purposes in the C++ programs. The scope resolution operator is used to access static or class members whereas this pointer is used to access object members when there is a local variable with the same name. Scope Resolution Operator in C++ The concept of scope resolution operator (::) is used in Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) and namespace standard that can used to access something belongs to a specific scope, such as a class or namespace. Syntax It's syntax is as follows: :: Example In this program, we use ...
Read MoreWhat is the C++ equivalent of sprintf?
The sprintf() function of C library equivalent to C++ that is used to create strings with a specified format like custom text with numbers or names. In C++, we can perform the same operation as in C with the help of ostringstream.C++ std::ostringstreamThe ostringstream is known for the output string stream and is defined under header file. This is used to build the string by writing some text into it. Syntax i. Following is the basic syntax of sprint() function in C: int sprintf(char *str, const char *format, ...); ii. Here, we show the syntax of C++ function ...
Read MoreSelf Destructing Code in C
The self-destructing code is a type of program that can delete itself. It automatically executes the program and then removes the executable file once the execution is done. In this article, we will learn how to write self-destructing code for a C program. Write a Self Destructing Code in C++ You can write a self-destructing program that deletes its own executable file after it finishes running by using the remove() function. The remove() function is a built-in function from the C standard library () that deletes the specified file from the file system. To delete the program's own executable file, ...
Read MoreFunction overloading and const keyword in C++
In C++, function overloading and const keyword are used for different purposes. Function overloading provides different ways to call a function with different parameter types that make the program more readable. While the const keyword provides the ways of declaration such as variable, member variable, function parameters, member function, and return type. What is Function Overloading? Function overloading is the process of defining multiple functions having the same name but different parameter lists. It is also known as compile-time polymorphism. Here, we have list of three points to describe function overloading in C++: The parameter ...
Read MorePrinting the correct number of decimal points with cout in C++
When working with floating-point numbers in C++, it's important to know how to control the number of decimal places displayed in the output. By default, cout may not always print the expected number of digits after the decimal point.How to Print Correct Number of Decimal Points with cout?To display numbers with a specific number of decimal places using cout, you can use the setprecision() function, which accepts an integer value representing the number of digits after the decimal to be printed and returns a stream manipulator that formats the number with the specified precision. The setprecision() function belongs to the ...
Read MoreHow to initialize const member variable in a C++ class?
A const member variable in a C++ class is a data member whose value must be initialized during object construction and cannot be modified. Initializing Const Member Variable in C++ Class The const member variable must be initialized. To initialize a const member variable, you can use a member initializer list using a constructor, . The member initializer list is the special way to initialize the values to class variables while creating an object before the constructor block runs. Note: If the member is static and of an integer type, you can directly initialized with the class definition. ...
Read MoreHow to use POSIX semaphores in C language
The POSIX stands for Portable Operating System which was developed by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). This is UNIX based operating system that is used for both system calls and library functions. The semaphores are used in the process of multithreading and synchronization. For eg. file sharing and memory management. It can be named or unnamed. Multithreading is the process of executing multiple tasks in the same instance of time while synchronization is used to control the thread to work in a sequential manner. It is important for data security. Using Semaphores in C language To use ...
Read MoreC++ Program to Check Whether a Number can be Expressed as Sum of Two Prime Numbers
You are given a number and you need to write a C++ program to check whether a number can be expressed as sum of two prime numbers. Input / Output Scenarios Following is the input-output statement: Input: n = 19 Output: 19 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. Explanation: 19 = 17 + 2, and both 17 and 2 are prime numbers. Input: n = 36 Output: 36 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. Explanation: 36 = 31 + 5, and both 31 and 5 are prime numbers. C++ Program ...
Read MoreC++ program to Zoom digits of an integer
Zooming digits means printing the digits of a given number in an enlarged form using special characters. In this article, we will learn to print (display) enlarged (zoomed) form of the digits of a given number. Below is the representation of digits 01438 in zoom format, Example of Zoom Digits in Integers Form To generate the zoomed digit, we define the pattern logic for each digit based on its respective function prototype. Then, we create a function that sets the switch-case logic which processes the selected digit based on either user input or a given number. In this example, ...
Read MorePrecision of floating point numbers in C++ (floor(), ceil(), trunc(), round() and setprecision())
Precision of floating point numbers is the accuracy upto which a floating point number can hold the values after decimal. For example, 10/6 = 1.6666666… these have recurring decimals which can take infinite memory spaces to be stored. To avoid memory overflow in such cases the compiler set a precision limit to the number. For float values in C++, the precision is set to 6-7 digit after that if the decimal recurs it will discard the value. So, to avoid any major losses when this discarding takes place there are methods and libraries that support the precision is float values. ...
