Use of min and max functions in C

Are std::min and std::max better than fmin and fmax in C++?

Do they provide essentially the same functionality when comparing two integers?

Do you prefer to use one of these libraries of functions or write your own (to improve efficiency, portability, flexibility, and so on)?

Notes:
The min and max functions are declared in the standard C++ algorithm header by the C++ Standard Template Library (STL).

The fmin and fmax functions are included in the standard C math.h header according to the C standard (C99).

Cases of static and dynamic binding in C++

When an object's static type is used to associate it with a member function, this is known as static binding (understand the type of its class). When a pointer or reference is associated with a member function based on the dynamic type of the object, this is known as dynamic binding (understand the instance of the variable at runtime). Before continuing, keep in mind that dynamic binding only works with pointers, references, and virtual functions for the base class. Because everything needed to call the function is known at compile time, the first call is a static binding (also known as early binding). Derived1 d1(1, 10); d1.display_data(); You already know that the d1 instance is a Derived1 automatic variable, and that it will call the Derived1::display data method (). The first condition is incorrect: d1 is neither a pointer nor a reference. The second condition isn't acceptable: There is no virtual Derived1::display data. The second call is for ...READ MORE

functions in c++ call by value and call by reference

Calling a function by value copies the argument and stores it in a local variable for use by the function, so the argument is unaffected if the value of the local variable changes. The argument is passed to the function as a reference rather than a copy, so if the function changes the value of the argument, the argument is also changed. The void change(int); function prototype informs the compiler that there is a function named change that takes a single int argument and returns void (i.e. nothing). Because there is no & with the argument, it is called by value. You have the line change(orig); later in your code, which actually calls the function with. Take a look at the output of ...READ MORE

functions in c++ call by value and call by reference

The code below shows how to call a function in both methods. Please explain the major differences or meanings of call by value and call by reference to me. 1.Make a value-based call. 2.Call based on a reference. The call by value method is demonstrated in the following code. In a comment, I expressed my reservations. #include<iostream> int main(){ void change(int);//why function prototype is before ...READ MORE

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. Example: Let f(x, i) = pow(x, 5 * i ...READ MORE
