  1. Hello. Could you please clear the 19th Question. The question asks difference between n++ and n+1, but the solution gives the explanation for n++ and ++n .

    But i hope the question really meant d/b n++ and ++n , coz i was asked the same question in an interview, n i gave this same answer.! fingers crossed.

    Thank you again.

    1. +n is faster than n++ is faster than n=n+1
      Machine usually have increment x as well as add const to x

      In case of n++, you will have 2 memory access only (read n, inc n, write n )
      In case of n=n+1, you will have 3 memory access (read n, read const, add n and const, write n)

  26. Hey Brother,

    I genuinely do look forward for the time where you post some new write ups. Your blog make me feel so educated! Continue soaring and writing please.

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    int A[3][2]={{1,2},
    {4,5},
    {7,8}};

    int B[3][1]=
    {{0},
    {4,},
    {7,}};

    i want to merge array A and B into a single array C ,which should appear like

    int C= 0 1 2
    4 4 5
    7 7 8

    Thanks a lot. This was a perfect step-by-step guide. Don’t think it could have been done better.

    Thanks,
    Irene Hynes
