hanks to the latest judicial ruling in the Microsoft Corp. case, it seems the world won’t be getting a pair of Baby Bills any time soon. Between Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson’s perceived ethical problems in discussing the case with reporters prior to a final ruling, and the appellate court’s ruling
# is getting a lot of attention these days?so much attention that some DevX readers have begun to remonstrate on what they consider excessive coverage, especially for a language that is still in its beta stage. I can agree with some of the points raised. Personally, I find C# (at
f you’ve been following this series, the last couple of articles (see Resources) focused on writing some useful “form-building” routines in ASP pages. I’ll continue this month by developing routines for displaying check boxes and radio button controls. Again, like last month’s article, the focus will be on building data-bound
An empty # sign is a null preprocessor directive. A null directive has no effect but you can use it to document your intentions, for example: ifndef HEADER_INCLUDED#define HEADER_INCLUDED#else# // do nothing#endif
The library supports two types of file streams: char-based streams such as std::ifstream and whcar_t streams. The names of wchar_t streams are the same as their char-based counterparts, except that they begin with a w. For example: std::wifstream, and std::wofstream. Remember that wide character files still may not have wchar_t
Just like the fseek() function of , classes enable you to position the stream’s pointer at an arbitrary location by calling the seekg() member function. For example, you can position it at the file’s beginning after you have read from it: #include char c,d;std::ifstream mystream(
C++ forbids direct assignments of arrays. Therefore, your compiler will flag the following code as an error: char buff[];buff=
Here a few guidelines for improving std::string’s performance and avoiding common pitfalls. Consider the following for-loop: std::string str =
C++ never passes arrays to a function. Instead, the argument is implicitly converted to a pointer that contains the address of the first array element. For example: void f(char s[]);int main(){ char buff[10]; f(buff); // buff is quietly converted to ‘&buff[0]’} Because of this implicit conversion, you may access elements
