C/C++ Accessing Array Elements: i vs. .at(i)

    Array Elements
AI Thread Summary
Both the bracket operator [] and the .at(i) function can be used to access elements in an array or vector, but they have key differences in functionality. The .at(i) method includes bounds checking, which means it will throw an out_of_range exception if the index i is outside the valid range of the vector's size. In contrast, the [] operator does not perform any bounds checking, potentially leading to undefined behavior if an out-of-bounds index is accessed. This distinction is crucial for ensuring safe access to array elements in programming.

The [m].at(n)[/m] function automatically checks whether $n$ is within the bounds of valid elements in the vector, throwing an out_of_range exception if it is not (i.e., if $n$ is greater or equal than its size). This is in contrast with member operator[], that does not check against bounds.

Thread 'Star maps using Blender'

Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...

Thread 'Could the reason why I can't select any kernels in VS Code be this error?'

I am trying to run an .ipynb file and have installed Miniconda as well as created an environment as such -conda create -n <env_name> python=3.7 ipykernel jupyter I am assuming this is successful as I can activate this environment via the anaconda prompt and following command -conda activate <env_name> Then I downloaded and installed VS code and I am trying to edit an .ipynb file. I want to select a kernel, via VS Code but when I press the button on the upper right corner I am greeted...
