Hai all,
I havesomequestion. Please answer.
1. What is walking pointer?
If you're asking what I think you're asking, it's the process of iterating
through an array by incrementing a pointer, as below:
void copy(char *src, char *dst)
{
while(*src)
*dst++ = *src++;
*dst = 0;
}
Basically, we're "walking" through the src and dst arrays by incrementing
the pointers.
2. What is difference between procedure and subroutine?
Practically speaking, none. Somelanguages such as Fortran and Ada
distinguish between subroutines that return a value (functions) vs.
subroutines that don't return a value (procedures) with different syntax
and semantics (e.g., using different keywords to define the subroutine, or
preventing you from modifying input parameters of a function). Cdoesn't
make this distinction; all subroutines are functions.
3.What is template of main inC?
The standard prototypes for main are:
int main(void);
int main(int argc, char **argv);
Individual implementations may define additional prototypes, but
must support at least those two.
4. What is padding of structure ( or structure padding )?
Most architectures require that multibyte objects (ints, floats, doubles,
etc.) start on addresses that are multiples of 2 or 4. If you have a
struct that has a single char member followed by an int member, the
compiler will "pad" the struct so that the int member starts on the next
even address, so you wind up with a dummy byte between the members.
5. What is advantages of using pointers to functions?.
There are a number of advantages, from allowing for plug-in architectures
to introducing basic polymorphism. Unfortunately, I have to run out of
here before I can come up with any decent examples. It's something that
won't make sense until you've done a little more programming, anyway.
GOOD SUGGESTION COMPARED TO ALL OTHERS.
Thank you John Bode
I hope you should assist everyone to how to answer for thequestions.
No. Many of us know how to answer thesequestions. But we don't do
home work.
Giving irrelevant answers doesn't mirrors their expertness inC. If
you all find my question irrelevant, why didn't John Bode??
Hope you follow good path of Mr Bode.
Bye
Guru Jois

No.. This doesn't sounds home work sir. You can think that a new-to-c
student wants to know answer to certain question. I posted it here
after failing to find it in google. You (all) would have first
answered it relevantly and then guide that the question should be
asked so and so, as John Bode did.
bye
Guru Jois
