There are quite a couple of occasions where my students have asked me the difference between programming and scripting (or programs and scripts). I thought the time has finally come for me to write an article on it and close the case!

Hats Off !!

Thanks a lot CyberPlus
Now I don’t need the art of guess
Whenever a problem in sight
Because I know the logic right.

A college hour seems so long
Here it’s a different song
Smooth as honey
So as many
And so do I.

For us CyberPlus is a place
Where they coach not teach
And where we study not read
Where we listen not hear

Want to be a good programmer?
If the answer is YES
The place is CyberPlus.

With lots of thanks

This poem was submitted to us by our dear student Aditya, back in 2000, and was put up in our notice board. He was one of the first students in the history of CyberPlus. He had first joined us for Data Structures in his 3rd semester, and later joined many other courses here in subsequent semesters. He was instrumental in bringing many of his friends from his class to CyberPlus, who then brought in their friends, and eventually we had almost the whole batch of CSE & ISE from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in CyberPlus!! Thank you Aditya! We will never forget your valuable contribution when CyberPlus had just started!

The new and delete operators can also be overloaded like other operators in C++. There are interesting possibilities of doing the same. However, some care should be taken regarding the parameters to accept, value to return and place to declare. This article covers all possible forms of overloading these operators and their uses.

In DOS, if you write C/C++ programs using Turbo C/C++, you will need to select a memory model for the application. The memory model basically specifies the number of segments in memory for code, data and stack and has an effect on all pointers used in the program.

Every running program (process) occupies some memory for its code and data. Linux follows a particular methodology for assigning memory addresses to various parts of a program. Linux assigns a “segment” to each of the following, where a segment can be defined as a single memory block of variable size:

Question:

Hi! I am designing a game in C. The objective of the game is to arrange numbers in order

____7________8________4
____1________6________3
____2________5________0

by swapping them with 0

For any possible combination of these numbers…(i.e., arranging them in different possible combinations)..can we get answer…..(i.e., arrange them in order).
is it possible…..?

C learners are generally pretty comfortable with the str… series of functions:

1. strlen()
2. strcpy()
3. strcat()
4. strcmp()
5. strlwr()
6. strupr()

However, I generally find a very poor awareness of the mem… series of functions:

1. memcpy()
2. memmove()
3. memset()
4. memchr()
