What do single quotes do in C++ when used on multiple characters?
One of the new students in our University asked me to help hem with some code.
his code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
cout << ('/0'); //his mistake - the / is upside down
system("pause");
}
(this code was made with VS2008)
he expected to get a blank char, he got 12080.
I fond the mistake, but I still don't understand why he got 12080.
can someone explain this? is it different between platforms?
