The difference (absolute) obviously increases, the relative error stays roughly the same.
This explains how they are encoded
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic
Try this to see the difference
#include <iostream>
template <class A, class B>
double check(A && a, B && b) {
if (a > b) {
return a;
} else {
return b;
}
}
int main()
{
std::cout << static_cast<long long>(
check(2.0,
100000000000000013LL))
<< '\n';
std::cout << 100000000000000013LL;
}
I think it's too late for me to understand any of this😴😅

Hi, im new to C programming. Could any mentor in here explain the "pointers of death" in C programming? It was mentioned by my lecturer

Same here😅😅, its my first time hearing "pointers of death".....🤔🤔

He maybe meant "dead pointer"...Pointer is usually in one of the 4 states: dead, alive, null or out of scope.
When you initialise/declare a pointer, it is in dead state.
It becomes alive when you associate the pointer to an address or newly allocated memory location or assigned to another pointer.
In practical programming, we always avoid dead pointers, by initialising them to NULL. 
This leads the pointer to enter from dead state to null state.

I am not properly sure but 70 can say that when you point any variable and then again you point another variable with same pointer. Then you loose your earlier one variable. In this way you can’t access again and it will also consume your memory.

The dead pointer Is a pointer not initializate
Daniele°
char* deadpointer;
Daniele°
int* z=malloc(sizeof(int));
free(z);
//Now z Is dead pointer
olli
char* deadpointer;
where does the term "Dead Pointer" come from? At least it's nothing defined by the standard.
Pointing a an object or memory beyond its lifetime is commonly known as "dangling".
And the pointer does not change with the location it points to. It can be either initialized or uninitialized.

The pointer points on address which already been freed.

How to do if I get a path to a folder I can read files from it and then read from them

Where you read? I not found even on Google pointer of death
Mihail
So that's why you didn't find anything
olli
The only reference to the term "dead pointer" comes from a user answer from quora...
A pointer is either initialized or unitialized.

to list the content and read the files of a directory you can use std::filesystem or boost::filesystem

These days people use their own term to define stuff... not sure why

I'm having 10+ years of experience in C and (C++ basics). Planning to learn Java.
Is it advisable??

Maybe learn c++ first? After that java would be pretty simple, along with most other languages, except for like ios and esoteric langs

What would the point of learning C++ be for him if what he wants to know is Java?

you will learn java in a week if you already know c/c++, and it can be good if you are planning to develop andriod or similar

Learning more language is always good even if you dont use em

For example forth COBOL etc

I think that if you want to learn a language, what you may do is... to learn that language

Yes, certainly, but I think you should prioritise the ones you actually need

Java isnt a language that you should use nowadays
BinaryByter
Yea
Nameful
I'm not
BinaryByter
its bloated, it is weird to write
Nameful
It's still used in a lot of back-ends
Nameful
so knowing it is useful

doesnt mean that using it nowadays is a good idea

Interesting. Why?
Because it was meant as a C-version of a pascal-P kind of thing that ultimately became a huge bunch of bloatware instead; solving at runtime what C can solve at compile-time with a lot less air added to it for totally useless reasons, unless you screw up C programming as well

Can anybody tell why string size is limited to 4095 chars in cpp.?
I'm facing a problem with that size limitations.
Punish3r
What alternative can i use to bypass that limitation accept array of chars.
I don't want to define an array of some size.
Anonymous
Dima
you can’t. or use VLA.
Dima
variable length arrays
Dima
not recommended tho.
Punish3r
not recommended tho.
Can't do that.
The program I am working on take string input from user.
The input can be of 5 chars or 10K chars including spaces
The string is limited to 4095 chars only.
Dima
use heap allocations
Dima
not fixed size arrays
