C++ Vector Memory Release
When you use C++ STL, it takes care of freeing up memory after a variable goes out of scope. But let's say you have some code that needs the memory to be freed up immediately. This can happen under many circumstances when you are working under constrained resources. One of the more popular STL containers … Continue reading C++ Vector Memory Release
Random Number Generators In Programming
If you have fiddled around enough with C/C++/Objective-C, you must have noticed that if you use rand() function on its own, it gives the exact same numbers every time. Now how is that possible? Isn't rand() function supposed to generated completely random numbers in a given range? The reason for this has something to do … Continue reading Random Number Generators In Programming

You tried to declare a variable after a 'case' statement and it showed an error. If that's the reason you are here, then read on. This must actually be surprising to most people familiar with C++ programming because C++ allows us to declare variables almost anywhere in the program. In fact, declaring them close the … Continue reading Expected Expression Error
