<t>iank, I appreciate your long reply. Very helpful. I think multi-factor models and statistics models and their asssociated risk models previded by third party vendors are good resources that can help beginners to learn the principles behind the numberical results and formulas. After all, they have...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: fgarelliIs a limitation of the standard, floating point numbers are by nature not exact and the C++ did not specify any implementation for them.#include<iostream>template<class T> void foo(T op1, T op2){ std::cout << "op1=" << op1 << std::endl; std::cout << "op2=" << op...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: fgarelliLine 2 is an error because the Standard does not allow to use floats as template parameters this is the reason why line 1 is correct.Line 5 is wrong because the class template requires the use of template argument list.Why flotas are not allowed for a template p...

QuoteOriginally posted by: CluelessCppHere is a signal-based approach:Thanks for your code, it works well. This signal synchronization is faster than mutex/semaphore/futex ? signal synchronization also need to make system calls ? Any comments are appreciated !thanks

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: CluelessCppI think the main question is what are we allowed to use. Is "signal" used as an abstract concept or does it specifically refer to the signal set of functions? In the latter case it should be quite easy to just use it in combination with atomic counters and si...

This is an interview question, the interview has been done. What things can make C++ slower than C ? My ideas: class declaration, objects instantiation, calling constructors/destructor , name mangling. template instantiation. Any better ideas ? Any help will be appreciated. thanks !!!

<t>This is an interview question, the interview has been done. Given a class A with members of Class B and C. If an exception happens in class C's constructor but the program can still work well, what is the reason ? My answer:The class C's constructor is not implemented by A. Or, A does not have so...
