Array of Strings in C programming

Array of Strings in C programming

Size of an array:

The size of the ss array is 32 because it's an array of pointers to characters (i.e., strings). In C, the size of a pointer is typically 4 or 8 bytes, depending on the architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
In your case, it seems like you're running this code on a 64-bit system, where the size of a pointer is 8 bytes. The ss array has 3 elements, each of which is a pointer to a string. So, the total size of the ss array is 4 * 8 = 32 bytes. This is why sizeof(ss) is32. The sizeof operator in C returns   the size of the object or type in bytes.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
int main(){
   
    char s[MAX_NAME] = "Ashiq";
    char* ss[] = {"ash", "che", "ashiq", "chester"};

    int length = sizeof(ss)/sizeof(ss[0]);
    int sizeofarray = sizeof(ss);

    printf("length: %d\n", length);
    printf("Size of array: %d\n", sizeofarray);
   
    // The size of the [ss] array is 32 
   
    for(int i=0; i<length; i++){
        printf("%s\n", ss[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}


Output:

length: 4 Size of array: 32 ash che ashiq chester

Using Generic in TypeScript about types in the Code

# Using Generic in TypeScript about types \<T> in the Code ## Question 1: Here what is this <T> means? ```typescript const addID = <T>(obj: T) => {   let ID = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);   return ({...obj, ID}); } ``` ## Answer 1: In the code snippet you've provided, `<T>` is a **generic type parameter** in TypeScript. It allows you to write a function that can work with any type of object while still maintaining that object's specific type information. When you use the function `addID`, you can pass in an object of any type, and TypeScript will understand that the returned object will be of the same type as the input, plus the additional `ID` property. Here's a breakdown of how it works: ```typescript const addID = <T>(obj: T) => {   let ID = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);   return ({...obj, ID}); } ``` - `<T>`: Declares a generic type `T`. - `(obj: T)`: Indicates that the function takes an argument `obj` of type `T`....

Usage of Common “Header files” in C programming

By Md Shoriful Islam
  Each of these header files serves a specific purpose in a C program: stdio.h : This header file stands for "standard input-output header" and provides functions for input and output operations such as  printf()  and  scanf() . stdlib.h : It stands for "standard library" and provides functions such as memory allocation ( malloc() ,  calloc() ,  free() ), random number generation ( rand() ,  srand() ), and other utility functions. string.h : This header file provides functions for manipulating strings such as  strcpy() ,  strcat() ,  strlen() , etc. conio.h : This header file provides functions mainly for console input and output operations in DOS and Windows environments. Functions like  getch()  and  clrscr()  are included in this header file. However, note that it's not a standard C library and is often not available in many modern compilers or platforms. time.h : This header file provides functions to work with da...
