C++ Notes3

The document discusses the wchar_t data type in C++, which supports Unicode and varies in size depending on the compiler. It also introduces the bool data type, which occupies 1 byte and represents true or false. Additionally, it explains the difference between C-style strings and C++ strings, highlighting that C++ strings manage memory allocation automatically.

wchar_t

In computer world they follow


unicode table
universal code table, which contains the symbols and
alphabets of all the langauges which are worldwise
certified

size of wchar_t:
2 bytes on 16 bit compiler
4 bytes on 32 and 64 bit compiler

we use wcin and wcout for scaning and printing.


to change cuurent program locale we use c function called
setlocale

on 64bit compiler
wchar_t ch;
wchar_t s[10];
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello";
}

while(1) while(true)
{ {

} }

Boolean datatype bool

bool datatype occupies 1 byte of memory stores


true or false as 1 and 0
bool datatype recognises true and false as keywords
bool flag1=true;
cout<<flag1;
how do we declare a string

char str[20];
char s[30]="vector";
char s1[]="abcd";

to over come above problems, in c++ they introduced


string datatype
string s1;

in c++ style string programmer need not bother about


size , it is taken care by c++ compiler,
based on input accordingly memoey allocation done by
compiler
Note : c string predefined function will work only on cstyle strings
but not c++ style string.
char s[10]="vector";
string s1="vector";
