I am writing software that needs to compare two _mm256 vectors for equality. However, I would like there to be a margin of error +/- 0.00001. Eg, 3.00001 should be considered equal to 3.00002. Is there a simple way to do this using SSE/AVX/AVX2 instructions?
| Subtract values being compared, mask out sign with*_and_*or*_andnot_*, compare with*_cmpgt_*against your margin populated with*_set1_*

I found the following answer:Convert void* to double
However, I am getting segmetation fault. Why is that?
Code:
```
void * p = (void *) 1234;
double n = *(double *)p;
```
| Pointerpis assigned to address 1234 that you chose atrandom?. You are then referencing arandomaddress. It does not correspond to a valid allocated chunk of memory.
|
```
FILE* file = fopen(some file)
pcap_t* pd = pcap_fopen_offline(file)
pcap_close(pd)
fclose(file)
```
This code occurs double free error.
Could you explain about this happening?
My Guess is that pd and file pointers are sharing some datas.
| As the documentation says, thepcap_closefunction closes the files associated with thepcap_tstructure passed to it. Closing the file again withfcloseis an error.

Many programs assumesizeof(int)==sizeof(unsigned int). IMO it is not and I cant find anything in the Standard which guarantees it. Am I right or wrong?
| C11 6.2.5.6 (Types) says "For each of the signed integer types, there is a corresponding (but different) unsigned integer type (designated with the keyword unsigned) that uses the same amount of storage (including sign information) and has the same alignment requirements."

I have trouble understanding the difference between bitwise concatenate and or.
For example, I have to bianry values which is 1111 and 0000.
If I do 1111 | 0000, will I get 1111 or 11110000?
And if I get 11110000 as the result, when should I use | as or operation?
| 1111 | 0000is1111. There is no bitwise concatenate operator. You can use left shift<<to move bits to the left1111 << 4is11110000.

I have a problem that need to resample 16 bits depth to 32 bit depth mp3 in c program. any suggestion where I can find some repo as reference or web site to start with?
| Decode the MP3 into WAV or AIFF format with PCM coding, up-sample, then re-encode.FFMPEGis good for that.
However word of advice: You don't gain audio quality doing this, You only have 16 bits of information per sample, you can't add more to it. That's how information theory work.

Suppose that we have

char str[20] = "{10,20,30}";
```
Is it possible to initialise arr with str?
| You can't do that specifically, statically, but you can kind of do the reverse.
You can create a "to string" macro like this:
```
#define __STR(x) #x
#define STR(x) __STR(x)
```
Then you can use it like this:
```
#define NUMS {10,20,30}

I am writing a code for Dots and boxes game in C and I need a function that exit the game and close the window based on an input from the user for example when he presses the letter 'e' on keyboard the game should close and I have no idea how to do that

```
#include <stdlib.h>

How can I copy a file without using standard C library functions in Linux? In other words, I would like to copy a file directly with system calls. Is it possible?
| file directly with system calls. Is it possible?
In pseudocode, usingsendfile:
```
int in = open("input", ...);
fstatat(in, &stat);
int out = open("output", ...);
sendfile(in, out, NULL, stat.st_size);

Is there any built-in for this operation (in C) ?
```
lock or QWORD [...], ...
```
In fact, I'm searching forlock orin C.
If there isn't any built-in, how can I write it in C inline-asm ?
I'm using GCC (C version 11).
| The standard C11 way of doing this is with <stdatomic.h> andatomic_fetch_or. You can do things like:
```
#include <stdatomic.h>
atomic_int var;
int res = atomic_fetch_or(&var, 0x100);
```

What is the use of thestat.hheader incat.c?
Here you have thecat.c
https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-riscv/blob/riscv/user/cat.c
Here you have thestat.h
https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-riscv/blob/riscv/kernel/stat.h
I do not see any direct use of thestatstruct in thecat.cso I wonder if there is an indirect one.

I've tried different types of string input(scanf, getchar, gets), but none of them can finish input with Enter. Do you guys have any ideas?
| As Cheatah said, the function you looking for isfgets(). Always try to avoidgets()as it offers no protections against a buffer overflow vulnerability and can cause big problems in your program. You can read some of the answers to this question to clarify the utility of each functionScanf() vs gets() vs fgets()

I just want to know if a line break (i.e. '\n') can only be written to the stdout if 1 byte is used for such, I mean, does a line break have to be called like this?
```
write(1, "\n", 1);
```
or can it be called like this?
```
write(1, "\n", 0);
```
| Bytes are bytes. There's nothing magical about\nthat makes it not count. It has to be the former.

write the post order of the above BST
I,m confusing it starts with 50 or 60
| "Post order" means that a parent is always visitedafter("post") its children are visited.. So if you would start with 50, you cannot visit 60 anymore, as that would violate that rule.
The post order thus starts like this: 60, 50, 80, ...
As this is an assignment, please figure out the rest yourself, just making sure you always abide to the above rule.

I usedffigento generate bindings from a C header file.
One of the methods in C isopen(const char *path), and ffigen generated a binding methodopen(ffi.Pointer<ffi.Int8> path).
If I want to have a dart methodopen(String path)that access this binding method how can I convert the String parameter to ffi.Pointer<ffi.Int8>?
| Try
```
"Your message".toNativeUtf8().cast<Int8>()
```

If I compile a C program on Windows 10, can that program run on Windows 7?
If I compile a C program on Windows 10 Home, can that program run on Windows 10 Pro?
| yes , you can run your program in any windows.I think knowing aboutcompile processcan help you.

I know that c works in two's complement but still i can't undrstand how the program below gives me 2147483647 as output.
```
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int a=-2147483648;
a-=1;
printf("%d",a);
}
```
| Becuase anintcan't contains the value-2147483648 - 1, so it result in an integer overflow, which leads to undefined behaviour. Undefined behaviour can result in anything.

I have an array of int pointers
```
int * arr[3];
```
If I want to define a pointer toarr, I can do the following:
```
int * (*p)[] = &arr;
```
However, in my code, I need to first declare that pointer:
```
int *(*p)[];
```
My question is, how to assign&arrto it after it has been declared. I have tried(*p)[] = &arr;but that didn't work.

how can I do this using scanf funtion ranging form -1000 to 1000 ?
just %d numbers
| Try dooing a loop with ascanfand aprintfinside, like this:
```
int num = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
scanf("%d", &num);
printf("%d", num);
}
```
You just need to change the5to the number of iterations you need.

Specifically "the uri parameter may be a comma- or whitespace-separated list of URIs containing only the schema, the host, and the port fields" what does this mean?
Working with openLDAP in c.
| It is simple list of URIs. The list can be separated by whitespace or comma:
Example:
