  2. Jun 14, 2022 · 1. char* represents the address of the beginning of the contiguous block of memory of char 's. You need it as you are not using a single char variable you are addressing a whole array of char 's. When accessing this, functions will take the address of the first char and step through the memory.

  3. Oct 14, 2012 · 15. Think of char* p; as of address in memory. You did not initialize this pointer so it does not point to anything, you cannot use it. To be safe always: either initialize pointer to zero: char *p = 0; // nullptr in C++11. or initialize to some automatic. void foo () { char a [100]; char *p = a; } or global memory:

  4. Dec 11, 2009 · 10. CHAR is a fixed length field; VARCHAR is a variable length field. If you are storing strings with a wildly variable length such as names, then use a VARCHAR, if the length is always the same, then use a CHAR because it is slightly more size-efficient, and also slightly faster. edited Dec 11, 2009 at 3:41.

  5. Oct 29, 2009 · In your header: private: static const char *SOMETHING; static const int MyInt = 8; // would be ok. In the .cpp file: const char *YourClass::SOMETHING = "something"; C++ standard, 9.4.2/4: If a static data member is of const integral or const enumeration type, its declaration in the class definition can specify a constant-initializer which shall ...

  6. Jun 28, 2010 · char * msg = new char[65546](); It's known as value-initialisation, and was introduced in C++03. If you happen to find yourself trapped in a previous decade, then you'll need to use std::fill() (or memset() if you want to pretend it's C). Note that this won't work for any value other than zero. I think C++0x will offer a way to do that, but I'm ...

  7. Sep 16, 2008 · 10. An unsigned char is an unsigned byte value (0 to 255). You may be thinking of char in terms of being a "character" but it is really a numerical value. The regular char is signed, so you have 128 values, and these values map to characters using ASCII encoding.

  8. Jul 11, 2009 · Nope, you can only initialize an array when you first declare it. The reason is that arrays are not modifiable lvalues. In your case: char *array[] = {"blah", "blah", "blah"}; You don't need to specify the size, but you can if you want. However, the size can't be less than 3 in this case. Also, the three strings are written to read-only memory ...

  9. Aug 15, 2012 · const char *HELLO2 = "Howdy"; The statement above can be changed with c code. Now you can't change the each individual character around like the statement below because its constant. HELLO2[0] = 'a'. But you what you can do is have it point to a different string like the statement below. HELLO2 = "HELLO WOLRD".

  10. 4. Put this in 4.h, that all 3 include: extern char* myGlobalVar; This will declare the variable (just like declaring functions in header files), so the compiler does not complain when it sees myGlobalVar referenced in the other .c files (knowing that it has been declared). Then put this in one (and only 1) of the 3 files (1.c 2.c or 3.c):

  11. Mar 23, 2012 · char* const is an immutable pointer (it cannot point to any other location) but the contents of location at which it points are mutable. const char* const is an immutable pointer to an immutable character/string. edited Feb 28, 2018 at 23:51. L. Cornelius Dol.
