comparing static char [] and const char *

static char a[255] = "\0"; and const char *b = " "; now when I assign "abc" to a and b, for a the remainig 252 bytes stay '\0' and for b its not like that. So, when I try to compare them, they come out to be different. One solution is to just compare till sizeof(b) as we do in strncmp(). Is there any other way of doing it? Probably b...

In C, can I initialize a string in a pointer declaration the same way I can initialize a string in a char array declaration?

Do these two lines of code achieve the same result? If I had these lines in a function, is the string stored on the stack in both cases? Is there a strong reason why I should use one over the other, aside from not needing to declare the null terminator in the first line of code? char s[] = "string"; char* s = "string\0"; ...

Manipulating pointers using C

Hi, While working with pointers in C, I have been experiencing a very incosistent result, I am working with a token which is a byte string which i need to make a directory path. a token consists of the date as a prefix in the format of 20101129(2010-oct-29) and then a 20byte string follows, thus a token would look like 20101102A2D8B328CX...

(win32) How to make an OpenGL rendering context with transparent background?

Rendering contexts usually have a solid color on the background (black or whatever, see the image below): I'm wondering if it's possible to setup a window, with no decorations AND with the transparent background, while allowing me to render OpenGL stuff on it. This would give the illusion that the triangle is floating on the screen. ...

Abundant - defective number code not showing results

I have this code from my professor and it's about finding abundant and defective numbers. A number x is effective if the sum of all integer divisors, except for x itself, is less than x. If it's greater than x, then it's abundant. There are no compile errors and it seems all fine, but it just doesn't print anything, it doesn't get any r...
