What is Programming style


C is actually a free format language. This means that there are no rules
about how it must be typed, when to start new lines, where to place brackets
or whatever. This has both advantages and dangers. The advantage is that
the user is free to choose a style which best suits him or her and there is
freedom in the way in which a program can be structured. The disadvantage
is that, unless a strict style is adopted, very sloppy programs can be the
result. The reasons for choosing a well structured style are that:
• Long programs are manageable only if programs are properly organized.

• Programs are only understandable if care is taken in choosing the namesof variables and functions.

• It is much easier to find parts of a program if a strict ordering conventionis maintained. Such a scheme becomes increasingly difficult to achievewith the size and complexity of the problem.



No simple set of rules can ever provide the ultimate solution to writing
good programs. In the end, experience and good judgement are the factors
which decide whether a program is written well or poorly written. The main
goal of any style is to achieve clarity. Previously restrictions of memory
size, power and of particular compilers often forced restrictions upon style,
making programs clustered and difficult. All computers today are equipped
with more than enough memory for their purposes, and have very good
optimizers which can produce faster code than most programmers could
write themselves without help, so there are few good reasons not to make
programs as clear as possible.

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(); }

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)...

What is Dynamic Memory Allocation in C++ Program

In the computer world, anything that is processed be it an instruction or any data first needs to be loaded and located in internal memory.  In C++ programs also any data that is processed while executing the program is held in the internal memory.  What is Dynamic Memory Allocation? Dynamic Memory allocation means that the memory that will be used during the program is not known beforehand and is allocated dynamically and on the go. It is allocated during the runtime as and when required by the program. In C++ there are two operators used in dynamic memory allocation  1. New  2. Delete New operator in dynamic memory allocation The new operator in C++ is used to create objects of all types. The new operator will allocate memory of the size of the data type specified in the program.  For Example iptr = new int ;  Storing initial values will allocate needed amount of memory from the free store to hold the value of the specified data-type and store the startin...
