Regarding memset

#1

in the video sir had used a word “memset” what does that mean?

#2

Hey Nikhil, when you write int a[5] than 5 contigous blocks of memory got allocated for this array. These blocks can contain any garbage value.
If you want to set (providing value) these blocks with same value, you can use memset.
It is present in header file called cstring.h
consider the below explanation:
if you want to set all 5 blocks of array with a value 0 than you can use memset(a, 0, sizeof(a));

#3

and what does cin.ignore() means ?

#4

hey Nikhil,
cin.ignore() ignores/clears one or more characters from the input buffer.
you can use it when you want to throw away a specific number of characters from the input buffer manually.
