How do I get a digit that has a n-number? Example:n = 5, answer 6. n = 2, answer 4. n = 9, answer 6.

The solution seems rather easy with a brute force approach:
start withi = 0.computei*iand convert to a string withsnprintf. Letlenbe the length of this string.ifn >= lenincrementi, subtractlenfromnand continue at step 2.otherwise, return the character of the string at offsetn.
Here is some code:

I have my problem based on something like below:
```
for(j = 0; j < LenA; j++)
for(k = 0; k <= (j - k); k++)
// some operation
```
If j = 1; k should run for 2 itrs. 0 and 1 however it exits after 1st iteration alone (k = 0). Why is this the case ?
|
In the first iteration of the loop when j is equal to 1 you have
```
for(k = 0; 0 <= 1; k++)
```
after that iteration k becomes equal to 1 so the condition in the loop looking like
```
for(k = 0; 1 <= 0; k++)
```
evaluates to false.

Is it possible to use LLVM to read in C code and make it faster? I've seen many discussions on using LLVM to transform C++ to (unreadable) C code but I'm wondering if LLVM can read in C code, and produce a file (code, not an executable) with the same functionality that is faster.
|
No.
There is a C backend for LLVM, so you can compile C via LLVM IR to C and apply optimisation passes on the way, but what you are asking about is neither a design goal of that backend nor of LLVM as a whole. If it works in any particular case, then that is just a happy coincidence.

It's possible to do that using Numpy.memmap. Something like this:

Replace "filename" with the path to your array file and "int32" with the type you used in your C array.

Your system has 32 bit (unsigned)int. All the work you're performing is with 32 bit values, and you castafterdoing the work. When you cast fromunsigned inttoint64_t, it doesn't change the value (it doesn't interpret the high bit of anunsignedas a sign bit to be extended), so it gets zero filled.

why does the byte address ox01 stores only 0x76 not 0x765?

A byte is 8 bits, and in hex that goes from 0x00 --> 0xFF (0 -> 255).

Modulo operator gives you remainder from division.
a % bis the remainder of division a by b

I don't understand Why don’t we have to print strings in for loop ? In normal cases we need to print arrays in for loop. For example, if we want to print the array of integers. It will be like this:

printf("%d", a[i]);

Steps to get there.
Pull out bit value from the original number.Left shift the bit value by one.Merge the bit-shifted value back to the original number.

I was trying to execute a malloc sentence like the following one:
```
TYPODATO *prof=(TYPODATO *)malloc((size_t)H*V*B2*sizeof(TYPODATO));
```
with beingH*V*B2*sizeof(TYPODATO)equal to 13037160840 B = 13.04 GB. If I execute the commandfree -min the console to obtain the available memory in MB, I get 13486 MB = 13.486... |
malloc()does not work this way.malloc() allocates a single contiguous block of memory.You are trying to allocate more memory than contiguously available, hence the error.

I'm creating a wxFrame with the following call:

You need to usewxSYSTEM_MENUforwxMAXIMIZE_BOXto have effect under MSW. Arguably, wx might add the former automatically if the latter is specified, just as it already does forwxCLOSE_BOX-- but currently it doesn't.

I have some doubts about the style of C code comments. like this:
```
/* \brief Creates a new shm pcm */
```
sometimes it like this:
```
/* \!brief Creates a new shm PCM */
```
What is the difference between the "\brief" and "\!brief"
|
Those are comments meant forDoxyGen, a system to generate documentation from the source code.
For the compiler, there is absolutely no difference at all.
DoxyGen expects/*! */and/** */to flag that the comments are meant for it, seethe documentation.

I am using a loop to delete characters from a string using printf(\b) 1 by 1 and sleep 0.1 seconds in between. But when I run the code it happens simultaneously.
I literally tried typing each printf because I thought the loop might be the cause but still, the output was the same
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unis... |
printfoutput is buffered. Usefflush(stdout)to force it to output immediately. Also,\bmoves the cursor left but doesn't erase the character under a cursor. Print"\b \b"to move it back, print a space, and then move it back again.
```
printf("\b \b");
fflush(stdout);
```

For example, in python, you can index strings like this
```
some_string = "hello"
substring = some_string[0:3]
```
and substring will be "hel"
however, in C, if I have
```
char some_string[] = {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'};
```
Is there a way to get just
```
{'h', 'e', 'l'}
```
There is probably a very simple solut... |
Not very simple, primarily because of memory management. You either needsubstringto be an array of sufficiently many characters, or need to allocate the memory dynamically. for example:
```
char *some_string = "hello";
char substring[4];
strncpy(substring,some_string,3);
substring[3]='\0';
```
or:
```

I have 2 files:stack.handstack.c. Both of them have a undefined typeelem_type.
So my question is:Can I leave them undefined until I include the stack.h and then give it a definition depended on the need of the calling file ?
|
You cannot leave undefined type in stack.c in C because when a compiler tries to compile stack.c it won't be able to determine the type.
In C++ this is feasible via template.

I am creating a message queue using the POSIX mqueue API:
```
mq_open("/myqueue", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, O_WRONLY, NULL)
```
I also mount the directory for the message queue objects:
```

mkdir /dev/mqueue
mount -t mqueue none /dev/mqueue
exit

When I run my program, the message queue appears in /dev/mqueue with... |
Your arguments to the function are wrong. You're passingO_WRONLYas themode, but it's a flag, just like the otherO_*. Instead you should do:
```
mq_open("/myqueue", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0600, NULL);
```
or some other file access mode that you want (0600=rw-------).
