Difference between char [] and char * in C?

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. This statement places the string  “mycplus” in the read-only parts of the memory and making p_name  a pointer to that string.

Comparing strings in C

String library in C, <cstring> or <string.h> provides several functions to manipulate C strings and arrays. The strcmp() function compares two strings. The function returns 0 if both the strings are equal. The standard form of the strcmp() function is: int...

More on Encapsulation

The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate how to use some of the traditional aspects of C or C++ with classes and objects. Pointers to an object as well as pointers within an object will be illustrated. Arrays embedded within an object, and an array of objects...

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...

Generic algorithms

Algorithms are at the core of computing. To be able to write an algorithm once and for all to work with any type of sequence makes your programs both simpler and safer. The ability to customize algorithms at runtime has revolutionalized software development. The...

C/C++ String Library

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

String Sorting in Java

This is a sample Java program to demonstrate string sorting. The function uses a space character as a separator between words. It iterates through each word in the input string and creates a words[] array. Finally it sorts the array of the words in ascending order of the letters i.e. a->z and displays the sorted array by printing one word at each line.

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 leverage you get from them is analogous to...

Find the longest common sub-sequence between two strings

This programme finds the longest common sub-sequence between two strings. It implements the most famous dynamic programming algorithm. Output is a null-terminated string, so must be the input This package is provided as is with no warranty. The author is not...

Count the characters in a specified string

This is a visual basic 6.0 source code to count the characters in a specified string. This function can be useful in Text editors or where you want to tell the user that how much characters have been inputted in the text field. You can also define which characters to...

Counts the number of words in a specified string

This is a visual basic 6.0 source code that counts the number of words in a specified string. This function can be useful in Text editors or where you want to tell the user that how much words have been inputted in the text field....
