Introduction to Arrays in C Programming
In this post, i ‘ll be making a short introduction to C arrays. Arrays are a pretty fundamental programming data structure that most novice programmers tend to be pretty comfortable with. Of course, this is quite understandable, since arrays are indeed a quite easy subject on their own. Share and Enjoy:
How The XOR Operation Works and How to Use it In C to Create a Small Encryptor
Exclusive OR (xor) is probably one of the most used operations in today’s encryption schemes. If you’re into creating some kind of encryption in your programs, you would need to utilize XOR operations, as XOR is a pretty versatile “tool” that you should use. If you care to know, XOR is actually an exclusive OR [...]
How to Write a Simple C++ Game in 15 Minutes
One of the things that have always fascinated me in programming is coding a game. I believe that many programmers take up C++ in order to create their first game. Although there are lots of different things that you need to be knowledgeable of to create a 2d or 3d game, you could actually be [...]
