Frequently asked questions
Q) How does a for loop differ from a while loop in C++?
A) Both for and while loops in C++ are used for repetition, but a for loop is typically used when the number of iterations is known in advance and a for loop involves three parts (initialization, condition, and iteration). In contrast, a while loop is more flexible and used when the number of iterations is uncertain.
Q) Can functions in C++ return multiple values?
A) No, a function in C++ can only directly return one value. However, multiple values can be simulated by using parameters passed by references, pointers, or objects. References, pointers, and objects are all discussed in depth in upcoming chapters.
Q) Tell me briefly how the CPU stack relates to function calls and loops in C++.
A) The stack is a region of memory used for managing function calls, local variables, and control flow in C++. Both function calls and loops involve the allocation and deallocation of space on the...
