Printing the elements of a vector in reverse order

Problem Statement Given a vector, print its elements in reverse order. Note: We are not allowed to change the structure of the vector. For example: Input: {1,2,44,33} Output: {33,44,2,1} Input: {99,11,33,88} Output: {88,33,11,99} Solution In this tutorial, we will see different ways to print the vector in reverse order. Approach 1 – Backward looping The most obvious approach is to…

Today's topic is Design Patterns in C++

Design patterns : In software engineering, a design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern isn't a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations.
