    C++

    Bjarne Stroustrup, prime developer of C++

    Developed in 1979 in Bell Labs by one Bjarne Stroustup, C++ is essentially a super set of the C language, enhanced by the additional support of classes and other object-orientated features that are not well-supported in C. Like C, it is an intermediate language, consisting of both high- and low-level language features. Other similarities with C include being statically-typed, being operable as a procedural language and fine control over memory management. Unlike languages that intend to hide memory management details from the programmer, like Java, Perl, PHP and Ruby, C++ supports four types of memory management: static memory allocation, automatic memory allocation, dynamic memory allocation and the boehm garbage collector.

    C++ is in wide use today (even here on BrainMass, where it is one of the top-visited categories in Computer Science) and has been used to craft a huge variety of programs. Its applications include operating system platforms, system software, application software, device drivers, embedded software and high-performance server and entertainment software, all thanks to it being a highly efficient compiler to native code, and therefore able to run faster in many cases than more portable languages like Java.

    As one would expect for such a staple language, C++'s features include over 35 operators, including ones that can cover basic arithmetic, bit manipulation, indirection, comparisons, logical operations and many more. Almost all of these may be overloaded for user-defined types for added functionality - the few exceptions being the member access and conditional operators. This ability to overload operators is essential to many advanced C++ programming techniques, giving the language ever higher capabilities. Overloading an operator does not change the precedence of calculations involving the operator, nor does it change the number of operands of an operator uses. Overloaded “&&: and “||” operators lose their shirt-circuit evaluation property.

    Passing array as parameter for finding the count of odd numbers

    This question has three parts. 1. Write a function that takes an array of int as a parameter and returns a count of odd numbers in the array. Assume the array has MAX elements where MAX is a global constant int. That means that before all of the functions there is a declaration like: const int MAX = 10; An

    Simulator in C++ Testing New Biological Triggering Device

    A local government organization has been testing a new biological triggering device. The actual cost has gotten out of hand and they have recruited you to test the new style trigger through simulation. The trigger device is a 20 by 20 grid where each square is a sensor. Each square in the grid starts with one flea. All the fl

    C++ program for variation of Caesar's substitution cipher

    The caeser cipher, which shifts all letters by a certain amount, is easy to decipher. Try this, instead of numbers use letters. Consider this, the word is FEATHER. Remove duplicate letters, making FEATHR, and append the rest of the letters of the alphabet in reverse order. Now encrypt the letters as follows: Now, write a progr

    Binary tree and Heap programs

    I need help with this assignment for my discussion forum. It says to write a program to take n elements and insert them into a heap one by one. Include a function to print out the elements in the heap.

    Recursive functions

    A sequential search member function of SortedType has the following prototype: void SortedType: : Search(int value, bool& found) ; a. Write the function definition as a recursive search, assuming a linked list implementation. b. Write the function definition as a recursive search, assuming an array-based implementation.

    Implement the specification for an integer function

    Implement the following specification for an integer function in the client program that returns the number of items in a queue. The queue is unchanged. int GetLength(QueType queue) Function: Determines the number of items in the queue. Precondition: queue has been initialized. Postconditions: queue is unchanged. Functio

    Linked Lists with arrays

    Use the linked lists contained in the array pictured in Figure 6.19 to answer the following questions: a. What elements are in the list pointed to by list1? b. What elements are in the list pointed to by list2? c. What array positions (indexes) are part of the free space list? d. What would the array look like after the dele
