Expert Solution & Answer

Program Description Answer

C-string” is a series of characters that are stored in successive memory locations and it is terminated by a null character.

Explanation of Solution

C-string:

C-string is a series of characters that are stored in successive memory locations and it is terminated by a null character.

The ASCII code for the null character is 0, but in C++ and many programming languages it is represented by ‘\0’.

  • In a program, c-strings can be used in three forms. They are:
    • Programmer-defined arrays of character
    • Hard-coded string literals
    • Pointers to character
  • C++ language also provides some library functions to work with C-strings. Some of them are:
    • “strlen” function – This function helps to find the length of the string.
    • “strcat” function – By using this function, two or more than two strings can be concatenated.
    • “strcpy” function – This function is used to copy the string from one variable to another variable.
    • “strcmp” function – This function helps to compare strings.
  • In order to use C-string library functions, the header file “#include<cstring>” must be used.

I want to ask someone who has experiences in writing physics based simulation software. For context I am building a game engine, and want to implement physics simulation. There are a few approaches that I managed to find, but would like to know what are other approaches to doing physics simulation entry points from scenes, would you be able to visually draw me a few approaches (like 3 approaces)?When I say entry point to the actual physics simulation. An example of this is when the user presses the play button in the editor, it starts and initiates the physics system. Applying all of the global physics settings parameters that gets applied to that scene.Here is the use-case, I am looking for. If you have two scenes, and select scene 1. You press the play button. The physics simulation starts. When that physics simulation starts, you are also having to update the physics through some physics dedicated delta time because physics needs to happen faster update frequency.To elaborate, what…
