Dear fellow programmers, I have some ‘site maintenance updates’. Before I start on the updates, I would first like to thank you all for your wonderful support over the years. I really appreciate that. As most of you are aware, I have been writing C programs on this website from 2011. Some of you here …
Bucket sort is a distribution-based sorting algorithm that works by dividing elements into a fixed number of equally-sized ranges (buckets), sorting each bucket individually, then concatenating the results. It is particularly efficient for uniformly distributed floating-point values in [0, 1) and can approach O(n) average-case time — faster than comparison-based sorts like merge sort or …
The remove() function in C deletes a file from the filesystem. Defined in <stdio.h>, it works on both Windows and Linux — making it the standard, portable way to delete files from a C program. Syntax int remove(const char *filename); filename is the path to the file — relative to the working directory (e.g. data.txt) …
Every C program needs a main function — that is where the C runtime hands control to your code. But what if you want to write a program without typing main in the source? The answer is a preprocessor macro: #define maps any identifier you choose to main before compilation, so the compiler and linker …
To sort a string alphabetically in C, apply bubble sort to the character array: compare adjacent characters and swap them when the left character is greater than the right. After all passes, the characters are in ascending ASCII order — digits first, then uppercase A–Z, then lowercase a–z. For a sort that treats ‘A’ and …
