Thread: C/C++ Type Safety

C++ uses type-safe I/O. Each I/O operation is executed in a manner sensitive to the data type. If an I/O member function has been defined to handle a particular data type, then that member function is called to handle that data type. If there is no match between the type of the actual data and a function for handling that data type, the compiler generates an error.

i. Can u give code snippet where C++ compiler gives error when there is data mistmatch between function call and actual input data passed?

ii. Also give examples of C which shows C is type unsafe?

Duh, what else could start with "Give examples..." :P

i. Can u give a homework question that the teacher might ask.

ii. Also give examples of where it might be unsafe to post such questions?

Friends, you have misunderstood me...I am not a student. I am trying to understand C++ in deep so requesting you to share a knowledge if you can.

I don't think you understand. Some of us own Deitel and Deitel's book; some of us used it in our programming classes, some of us use to teach from now. I haven't used the newer editions much, but I know of their existence, and I know how to search. If nothing else you can give book and page, so that we don't add "Plagiarist" behind your name. Since you appear to have only gotten to the second paragraph of the chapter (chapter 26 of the fifth edition of C: How to Program by above authors) it might behoove you to move forward.
