C++ Demystified(c) A Self-Teaching Guide
-
The CPU can most quickly access instructions or data from cache memory because that memory is on the CPU itself.
-
Persistent storage is not temporary like the other two: cache memory and RAM.
-
One byte of information may be stored at a particular memory address.
-
No. The size of a data type may vary depending on the compiler and operating system.
-
The range of a data type is the highest and lowest value that that data type may represent.
-
The value of an unsigned data type is either zero or positive, never negative, whereas the value of a signed data type may be negative also.
-
.0051 is represented by 5.1E-3 in E notation.
-
An ASCII value is a number between 0 and 255 that corresponds to a particular character.
-
The sizeof operator returns the size in bytes of a data type on the compiler and operating system on which the program is running.
-
A literal string is a string, generally encased in double quotes, that is outputted literally, without evaluation.
-
An expression is a code statement with a value that has to be evaluated when the program runs.
