Adding to a vector of pair

C++ - upcasting and downcasting

As an example: Shouldn't the second d.print() call during upcasting print "base"? Isn't it a "d" derived object that has been upcasted to a base class object? And what advantages does downcasting have? Could you describe upcast and downcast in more detail? #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Base { public: ...READ MORE

const int *p vs. int const *p - Is const after the type acceptable?

My coworker is 0 for 2 on questions inspired by him (1, 2), so I decided to give him a chance to catch up. Our most recent argument is about the placement of "const" on declarations. He believes it should be placed either in front of the type or after the pointer.  The explanation is that this is what everyone else does, and different styles are likely to be confusing.  Thus, a constant pointer to int and a constant pointer to int would be: const int *i; ...READ MORE

How member functions are implemented in C++?

I read somewhere that member functions in C++ are similar to regular functions but with an additional implicit this parameter. As a result, I assumed that this software would be unable to discriminate between two functions.  However, the software executed successfully.  So, was the above statement incorrect? #include <iostream> class MyCls { ...READ MORE
