how could I use the power function in c/c++ without pow(), functions, or recursion

It is part of a series.  Replace pow() with the previous iteration's value. There is no need for code to call pow ().  Pow(x, 5 * I - 1) and pow(-1, I - 1) may be formed since both have an int exponent dependent on the iterator I from the previous loop iteration.

When to use extern in C++

This is useful when dealing with global variables.  Global variables are declared in a header so that any source file that contains the header is aware of them, but you only need to "define" them once in one of your source files. To explain, using extern int x; informs the compiler that an int object named x exists elsewhere.  It is not the compiler's responsibility to know where it exists; it just needs to know the type and name so that it may utilise it.  After compiling all of the source files, the linker will resolve all x references to the one definition found in one of the generated source files. For it to operate, the x variable's declaration must have "external linkage," which simply means that it must be defined outside of a function (at what's known as "the file scope") and without the static keyword. header: #ifndef HEADER_H #define HEADER_H // any source file that ...READ MORE

How to copy turbo c++ output?

How can I replicate the output of Turbo C++?  I had already Googled the issue, but in vain.  It suggests to either print scrn and paste or right click, select all, and paste.  I tried both, but neither worked.  The issue is that it simply copies what is on the current screen.  But I want the entire screen from the start.  (Alt+printscrn is also ineffective).  What should I do in this situation? printScrn Alt+printScrn markall None of them are operational!!

C++ - Overloading vs Overriding in Inheritance

In C++, a derived class's method only overrides the base class's method if their declarations match (I say "match," but I'm not sure what the formal term is).  That is, all arguments must be of the same type, with the same const qualification.  If there are any mismatches, the derived class's method hides all methods with the same name rather than overriding.  This is what the "ERROR" in your image is attempting to convey.  So, in that image, / overrides in a comment is incorrect and misleading. Yes, many C++ instructors are unaware of these somewhat esoteric details. Furthermore, if you want to override, your base class's method must be virtual; otherwise, polymorphism will not work.  We could also say that the derived-class method hides the base-class method if it wasn't virtual.  The part about hiding, on the other hand, has almost no meaning here; what this term really means is that you're not in charge. Furthermore, overloading is the presence of multiple methods with the same name but different signatures, as you may have noticed. To be useful, they must all be present in the derived class; otherwise, they will be hidden if the derived class only has one method, fa1, and the other fa1 are in the base.  There is, however, a syntax sugar that "copies" all fa1 from the base to the derived. class A { public: void fa1(); ...READ MORE
