Meeting The Creator Of C++


BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Bjarne Stroustrup  (born December 30, 1950 in Ã…rhus, Denmark) is a Danish computer scientist, most notable for the creation and the development of the widely used C++ programming language. He is currently Professor and holder of the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University.
Stroustrup began developing C++ in 1979 (then called "C with Classes"), and, in his own words, "invented C++, wrote its early definitions, and produced its first implementation...

chose and formulated the design criteria for C++, designed all its major facilities, and was responsible for the processing of extension proposals in the C++ standards committee." Stroustrup also wrote what many consider to be the standard textbook for the language, The C++ Programming Language, which is now in its third edition. The text has been revised twice to reflect the evolution of the language and the work of the C++ standards committee.

Putimage function in c

putimage function outputs a bit image onto the screen. Declaration:- void putimage(int left, int top, void *ptr, int op); putimage puts the bit image previously saved with getimage back onto the screen, with the upper left corner of the image placed at (left, top). ptr points to the area in memory where the source image is stored. The op argument specifies a operator that controls how the color for each destination pixel on screen is computed, based on pixel already on screen and the corresponding source pixel in memory. c smiling face animation This animation using c draws a smiling face which appears at random position on screen. See output below the code, it will help you in understanding the code easily. C programming code #include<graphics.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdlib.h>   main() { int gd = DETECT, gm, area, temp1, temp2, left = 25, top = 75; void *p;   initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");   setcolor(YELLOW)...

C++ Program to find the sum, difference, product and quotient of two integers

#include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> void main() {   clrscr();   int x = 10;   int y = 2;   int sum, difference, product, quotient;   sum = x + y;   difference = x - y;   product = x * y;   quotient = x / y;   cout << "The sum of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << sum << "." << endl;   cout << "The difference of " << x << " & " << "y <<  is " << difference << "." << endl;   cout << "The product of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << product << "." << endl;   cout << "The quotient of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << quotient << "." << endl;   getch(); }

What is iostream.h in C++ Programing Language ?

In C++ programing language, all header files end with .H extension. In standard C++, all devices are accessed and used as a file.  One such header file is iostream.h in C++ programming language. In this, all input and output devices are treated as files.  Let's quickly look at what are the input and output devices mean in C++ program.  Standard Input Device - Keyboard  Standard Output Device   - Monitor  Standard Error Device - Screen or monitor In C++, input and output are not defined within, and are implemented with the help of a component of the C++ standard library which is I/O library.  A file is read simply as a stream of bytes at the lowest level. But at a user level, a file consists of possibly mixed data types which can be characters, arithmetic values class, objects etc.  What are the predefined streams in I/O Library? As discussed above there are input, output and error library in c++, they have some predefined streams objects as well w...
