Whats new in C++

 As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the latest major version of C++ is C++20. C++20 introduced several new features and enhancements to the language. Here are some notable additions:

1. Modules: C++20 introduced a new module system to replace the traditional header files. Modules improve compilation times, reduce dependencies, and provide better encapsulation of code.

2. Concepts: Concepts allow specifying requirements on template arguments, enabling more precise type checking and better documentation of template interfaces. They help improve template code readability and enable more effective error messages.

3. Ranges: C++20 introduced the Ranges library, which provides a more modern and concise approach to working with sequences of elements. It offers a new set of algorithms and range adaptors that make working with containers and ranges easier and more expressive.

4. Coroutines: Coroutines are a new way of writing asynchronous code in a more sequential and readable manner. They provide a way to pause and resume execution at specific points and are useful for tasks involving asynchronous I/O, generators, and state machines.

5. Three-Way Comparisons: C++20 introduced the spaceship operator (`<=>`) and support for three-way comparisons. It allows for a more concise and expressive way to compare objects, simplifying the implementation of comparison operations.

6. New Standard Attributes: C++20 added several new standard attributes, including likely/unlikely, fallthrough, nodiscard, and deprecated, which provide standardized ways to convey specific intentions to the compiler and improve code clarity.

7. Improved constexpr: C++20 expanded the capabilities of `constexpr`, allowing more functions and variables to be evaluated at compile-time. This helps in optimizing performance and enables more compile-time computations.

8. Improved `std::span`: C++20 enhanced the `std::span` class template, which provides a non-owning reference to a sequence of elements. The improvements include better compatibility with containers and support for multidimensional arrays.

9. Calendar and Time Zone: C++20 added support for working with calendars, dates, and time zones. It introduced new classes and functions in the `<chrono>` library to handle dates, times, durations, and time zones more effectively.

Please note that C++ continues to evolve, and new features may be introduced in future versions. It's always a good practice to refer to the official C++ standards documentation and stay updated with the latest developments in the language.

Web Programming: HTML, DHTML, XML, Scripting, Java, Servlets, Applets

 Web programming encompasses various technologies and concepts used to develop web applications. Let's explore each of them in detail: 1. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): HTML is the standard markup language used to create the structure and content of web pages. It uses tags to define elements like headings, paragraphs, images, links, forms, etc. Example: ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>     <title>My Web Page</title> </head> <body>     <h1>Hello, World!</h1>     <p>This is a paragraph.</p>     <img src="image.jpg" alt="Image">     <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a> </body> </html> ``` 2. DHTML (Dynamic HTML): DHTML is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that allows web pages to become more dynamic and interactive. Example (DHTML with JavaScript): ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <htm...

Tokens, Identifiers, Data Types, Sequence Control, Subprogram Control, Arrays, Structures, Union, String, Pointers, Functions, File Handling, Command Line Argumaents, Preprocessors in C with example

 Let's discuss each concept briefly and provide examples for better understanding: 1. Tokens: Tokens are the smallest building blocks in C programming. They include keywords, identifiers, constants, strings, operators, and punctuators. Example: ```c #include <stdio.h> int main() {     int num = 42;  // 'int', 'main', 'return', '42', '=', ';' are tokens     printf("Hello, World!");  // 'printf', '(', ')', 'Hello, World!', ';', are tokens     return 0;  // 'return', '0', ';' are tokens } ``` 2. Identifiers: Identifiers are names used to identify variables, functions, or other user-defined entities. Example: ```c int age = 30;  // 'age' is an identifier (variable name) void displayMessage() {  // 'displayMessage' is an identifier (function name)     // function body } ``` 3. Data Types: Data types define the type of data that can be stored in ...

Place holder and control character in c language

 In the C programming language, placeholders and control characters are used to format and control the output of text in console-based programs. They are special characters or sequences of characters that have specific meanings. Here are the placeholders and control characters commonly used in C: 1. Placeholders:    - %d: Used to display signed integers.      Example: printf("The value is %d", 10);    - %u: Used to display unsigned integers.      Example: printf("The value is %u", 10);    - %f: Used to display floating-point numbers.      Example: printf("The value is %f", 3.14);    - %c: Used to display characters.      Example: printf("The character is %c", 'A');    - %s: Used to display strings (sequence of characters).      Example: printf("The string is %s", "Hello");    - %p: Used to display memory addresses (pointers)...
