In practice, I'd never write such a for loop in a program. Instead, I'd use the built-in strcpy() function. There are several library functions built into C for working with strings. (Their prototypes are in the string.h header file; we'll talk about header files in Section 3.2.)...
Practice Pointers: Lack of communication at the core of wrong-site surgeryCecil A. King RNCNORAPRN
The practice just shown is common, but to use it you have to be absolutely sure the array contains a value equal to NULL. Otherwise, the loop causes a buffer overflow, proceeding until it happens to hit some value in memory that equals NULL, or causes a fatal error by exceeding the ...

This is OK if it is what you want, but if it was simply an oversight not to null the secondary reference, then you will be retaining the object it points at in memory for no good reason – probably in conflict with your design intentions. With both of these problems, neither the ...
Their calculations implicitly (and incorrectly) assumed vtordisp=0, so the wrong function could be called in some (obscure) cases. But Codeplay's upcoming release of VectorC 2.2.1 has fixed these problems. The member function pointers are now binary compatible with either Microsoft or GNU. ...
What are pointers to pointers good for, in practice? One use is returning pointers from functions, via pointer arguments rather than as the formal return value. To explain this, let's first step back and consider the case of returning a simple type, such asint, from a function via a poin...
As you have seen before with other variables, you can declare multiple arrays of a given type in a single statement, but in practice it is almost always better to declare variables in separate statements.Try it Out: Using ArraysAs a basis for an exercise in using arrays, imagine that you...
However, as explained in the sectionOne-Dimensional Arrays, this is not the correct way of determining its size. In this case, we would be passing the value of 20 to the array. displayArray(arr, sizeof(arr)); It is a common practice to pass a size smaller than the actual number of...
