Is C considered weakly typed Why

C++ has always struck me as one of the most highly typed languages available.

So I was surprised to see that C++ is weakly typed.

Apparently,

Because type-casting allows one to interpret an integer field of a structure as a pointer, C and C++ are considered loosely typed.

Is the presence of type casting the only thing that matters?

Is the explicitness of such casting unimportant?

Is it truly universally acknowledged that C++ is weakly typed?

Why?

C++ auto keyword. Why is it magic?

Auto was a keyword that C++ "inherited" from C and had been around for a long time but was almost never used because there were only two possibilities: it wasn't allowed or it was assumed by default. C++11 introduced the usage of auto to denote an inferred type. Similarly to how template type deduction works for function templates, auto x = initializer deduces the type of x from the type of initializer. Consider the following function template: template<class T> int whatever(T t) { ...READ MORE

Why is Turbo C++ showing this error in DOSBox on my Mac?

Your installation must be defective! I have a Mac, and I'm typing this on it while using TurboC++. Consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the programme. Download the package in the same way as you would a.dmg programme from the internet. (For example, drag and drop the programme into the Applications folder) Ascertain that your Applications folder is global to your system. This is what I mean: When in Finder, select the "GO" option from the top menu bar. From the drop down option, choose "Computer." In the newly opened window, click on your hard disc. There is a "Applications" folder there. That's where you should put TurboC++. Go to Launchpad, and start Turbo C++. ...READ MORE
