Where is min defined

This example will use the min function and the max function, so it is a bit complex. Before going through this one, carefully understand the above-stated example. Then we have a printf function that will prompt the user to enter the size of the array at run time. In the C programming language, the scanf function is being used to identify characters or any other input from the user. Again we have a printf function that will prompt the user to enter the elements of the array at run time.

In the C programming language, the for loop is used to repeat statements or parts of a program repeatedly. This enables them to write code once and then reuse it as needed, increasing the probability that the program will function as planned.

Again we have two printf statements that will display the minimum and a maximum value of the array on the screen. The black screen is presented and asks the user to enter the size and elements in the array. This article was all about the minimum function in the C programming language. Active 6 months ago.

Can someone check this and tell if it is macro or a function? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. They aren't. Improve this answer.

Gabriel Staples David Titarenco David Titarenco You know, it'd be quite handy if gcc had a warning along the lines of: warning: expression with side-effects multiply evaluated by macro at the point of use I haven't looked at any other compilers regarding this issue, sorry Luther :S — David Titarenco. It was a terrible idea, but it also didn't even work, because the MAX he was using had the double evaluation problem, so he ended up with a different random number than the one that was initially evaluated.

So, x and y will be incremented twice. Show 17 more comments. Neuron 4, 4 4 gold badges 24 24 silver badges 47 47 bronze badges.

I've added the definitions from the systems I have access to in my answer above the comment field doesn't accept formatting as far as I can tell. Very nice. Works on Cygwin too. Wait a moment. It doesn't prevent double evaluation, does it? A : B is not a flexible way, why???

Makouda: Extra parentheses in macros help to avoid operator precedence problems. That's not what the programmer probably intended. WingerSendon: It doesn't; the comma operator does. But you can't pass an expression with comma operator as a parameter to a macro unless you parenthesize it anyway — Ruslan.

Rationale We want both parameters to the macro to be of the same type. Lundin Lundin k 35 35 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. The function-like ones are better as functions and the value-group ones better as enumerations.

Brett Hale Brett Hale Kudos for recognising the macro problem but I'd still posit that a function would probably be better :- — paxdiablo. I don't think it's any more portable than the version with typeof with or without underscores. This should be the preferred answer as there clearly are min and max functions in the math library : cplusplus.

The implementation code of those library? It can also compare the two numbers using a binary function , which is defined by the user, and then passed as argument in std::min. It is also useful if we want to find the smallest element in a given list , and it returns the first one if there are more than one present in the list. Returns: Smaller of the two values. The value returned indicates whether the element passed as first argument is considered less than the second.

The function shall not modify any of its arguments. This can either be a function pointer or a function object.

Upon normal termination of the program including termination using the exit function , func is called just before returning to the TIOS. Each call to atexit registers another exit function. The number of function which can be registered depends on the current number of free handles. All registered termination functions are executed on a last-in, first-out basis the last function registered is the first to be executed. Note: Termination functions are not called on abnormal termination of the program i.

However, if a program is already executed in the ghost space because of ExePack compression or because it has been called from a launcher , there should not be any problems. The characters must match this generic format: [ws] [sn] [ddd] In atoi, the first unrecognized character ends the conversion. There are no provisions for overflow in atoi results are wrong in a case of overflow.

If the string cannot be converted, the return value is 0. See strtol and strtoul for conversions which allow much greater flexibility. Because this is a binary search, the first matching entry is not necessarily the first entry in the table.

If no match is found, bsearch returns NULL. NoOfElements gives the number of elements in the table. Width specifies the number of bytes in each table entry.
