Difference between char[] and char* in C? Character Array and Pointer

Generally, the following two statements about char[] and char * in C are considered confusing and understanding the difference between them is important. The first statement puts the literal string “mycplus” in read-only memory and copies the string to newly allocated memory on the stack. The second statement is known as static string allocation and definition.

Comparing strings in C

String library in C, <cstring> or <string.h> provides several functions to manipulate...

Advanced Concepts and Patterns in Encapsulation

While grasping the fundamentals of encapsulation is crucial, delving into advanced concepts and patterns elevates code design and maintainability further in C++. In this article, we will explore sophisticated aspects of encapsulation that go beyond the basics and provides you with a deeper understanding of its applications and impact on software development.

Generic Algorithms – Unlocking the Power of C++ STL Algorithms

Algorithms are are at the core of computing. One intriguing approach is Genetic Algorithms (GAs), which draw inspiration from natural selection and genetics. These algorithms excel at solving optimization and search problems by mimicking evolutionary processes. When it comes to putting these ideas into code, C++ stands out as a powerful and versatile language.

C++ and Object Orientation

Object- Oriented Programming (OOP) is an approach to program organization and development that attempts to eliminate some of the pitfalls of conventional programming methods by in incorporating the best of structured programming features with several powerful new concepts.

A Safer and Better C/C++ String Library

This is a better String Library which is superior to the existing C String library i.e. char string type, or C++’s std::string. It is safer with regard to buffer overflows, simpler than C string manipulation, works ok for ‘\0’ terminated strings and generally faster for common string operations.

String Sorting in Java

In this article, we explore different sorting techniques applied to strings in Java. We will look into the implementation of the direct insertion sorting algorithm and more advanced techniques such as the Merge Sort and Quick Sort algorithms. Each approach offers unique advantages by providing Java developers with flexibility in choosing the most suitable method based on the specific requirements of their applications.

The Standard C++ Library: Strings

Standard C++ not only incorporates all the Standard C libraries (with small additions and changes to support type safety), it also adds libraries of its own. These libraries are far more powerful than those in Standard C; the...
