Implement queue using stack
The puzzle is to implement basic queue operations with using only basic stack operations. That is, a stack object is given, we need construct a wrapper for the queue functions, insert, remove, which will only use the stack object as … Continue reading
Plot histogram in terminal
We had assignments to print “*”s in different formation in undergraduate class, which I never liked as they were pointless. Now I got a somewhat justifiable application, plot histogram in terminal. In the last post Generating random numbers from Normal … Continue reading

C LANGUAGE UERS! Y U NO SEE STANDARDS!
I had to make this. There are people who give a damn to the standards and follow the stone age Turbo C 3.1 compiler, run programs compiled by it. In the cases for compiler dependent and undefined behaviours, they try … Continue reading
C Q&A #5: A question about assignment operation and evaluation
Here is another C code snippet question. Consider the following piece of code, and spot if there is a problem in it or not.
Dynamically allocating 2d array with adjacent rows in memory
In a previous post “Allocating multidimentional array at runtime in C” I have explained a technique to allocate multidimensional arrays on runtime. While playing around with OpenMPI, I came to know that while sending/receiving a buffer, it requires the elements … Continue reading

Journey of a simple recursive code
Some one asked the following question in StackOverflow Implement a function with prototype char *repeat(char *s, int n) so that it creates and returns a string which consists of n repetitions of the input string s. For example: if the … Continue reading

Implement stack using a queue
The puzzle is to implement basic stack operations with using only basic queue operations. That is, a queue object is given, we need construct a wrapper for the stack functions, push, pop, which will only use the queue object as … Continue reading
