Question

In c++

and other languages in general

is a tap and a space made by the space the same whitespace?

or is it interpreted different?

Answer 1

by tap, do you mean tab?

\t is not ' '

Answer 2

aaa so you use the escape sequence? :)

yes i meant tab.

But now idk cuzz i need to copy paste a bunch of data. From MS word the tab looks like ->

but it is a white space idk what will happen if i copy paste it to a c++ file.


Is there a way to replace tabs with another character in MS word?

Answer 3

I dunno MS word. Possibily just ctrl+h for replace

Answer 4

I'm not sure I understand, but whitespace is ignored when compiling a c++ file. \t (the tab escape sequence) is a command that puts 4 whitespace chars (' ') to stdout. In other words, whitespace makes no difference to the C++ output, \t does. I don't know how to explain the /t becoming a -> in your C++ file after copy-pasting; -> means something specific and very different than \t.

Answer 5

i know -> is the * of classes lol.

Answer 6

...or dereference any field of a struct. No idea why that would come up o.0

Answer 7

oh it came up cuzz MS word uses an arrow for the tab character. It also uses dots for spaces.

and a



FOR returns aka new lines aka enter aka vertical space lol.
