  2. C++ string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++_string_handling

    In modern standard C++, a string literal such as "hello" still denotes a NUL-terminated array of characters. [1] Using C++ classes to implement a string type offers several benefits of automated memory management and a reduced risk of out-of-bounds accesses, [2] and more intuitive syntax for string comparison and concatenation. Therefore, it ...

  3. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    A basic example is in the argv argument to the main function in C (and C++), which is given in the prototype as char **argv—this is because the variable argv itself is a pointer to an array of strings (an array of arrays), so *argv is a pointer to the 0th string (by convention the name of the program), and **argv is the 0th character of the ...

  4. C string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_string_handling

    The result is an array of code units containing all the characters plus a trailing zero code unit. In C90 L"text" produces a wide string. A string literal can contain the zero code unit (one way is to put \0 into the source), but this will cause the string to end at that point.

  5. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    compare(string 1,string 2) returns integer. Description Compares two strings to each other. If they are equivalent, a zero is returned. Otherwise, most of these routines will return a positive or negative result corresponding to whether string 1 is lexicographically greater than, or less than, respectively, than string 2. The exceptions are the ...

  6. Reference (C++) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_(C++)

    In the C++ programming language, a reference is a simple reference datatype that is less powerful but safer than the pointer type inherited from C. The name C++ reference may cause confusion, as in computer science a reference is a general concept datatype, with pointers and C++ references being specific reference datatype implementations.

  7. Compatibility of C and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_of_C_and_C++

    C++ changes some C standard library functions to add additional overloaded functions with const type qualifiers, e.g. strchr returns char* in C, while C++ acts as if there were two overloaded functions const char *strchr(const char *) and a char *strchr(char *). In C23 generic selection will be used to make C's behaviour more similar to C++'s. [11]

  8. Comparison of programming languages (basic instructions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    Modulos are not restricted to powers of two. ^l Commonly used for characters like Java's char. ^m int in PHP has the same width as long type in C has on that system. ^n Erlang is dynamically typed. The type identifiers are usually used to specify types of record fields and the argument and return types of functions. [5] ^o When it exceeds one ...

  9. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    The primary facility for accessing the values of the elements of an array is the array subscript operator. To access the i-indexed element of array, the syntax would be array[i], which refers to the value stored in that array element. Array subscript numbering begins at 0 (see Zero-based indexing). The largest allowed array subscript is ...
