  2. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    The only popular alternative at that time, usually called a "Pascal string" (a more modern term is "length-prefixed"), used a leading byte to store the length of the string. This allows the string to contain NUL and made finding the length need only one memory access (O(1) (constant) time ), but limited string length to 255 characters.

    A temporary file is a file created to store information temporarily, either for a program's intermediate use or for transfer to a permanent file when complete. [1] It may be created by computer programs for a variety of purposes, such as when a program cannot allocate enough memory for its tasks, when the program is working on data bigger than the architecture's address space, or as a ...

  4. Empty string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_string

    The empty string is a syntactically valid representation of zero in positional notation (in any base), which does not contain leading zeros.Since the empty string does not have a standard visual representation outside of formal language theory, the number zero is traditionally represented by a single decimal digit 0 instead.

  5. Non-breaking space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space

    A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).

    Blast mines are buried close to the surface and triggered by pressure. A weight between 4 and 24 pounds (1.8 and 10.9 kg), the weight of a small child, is usually enough to set one off.

  9. C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++

    C++ also supports malloc and free, from C, but these are not compatible with new and delete. Use of new returns an address to the allocated memory. The C++ Core Guidelines advise against using new directly for creating dynamic objects in favor of smart pointers through make_unique < T > for single ownership and make_shared < T > for reference ...
