The difference is meaningless for large values of C.

Well its got the ++ right there, so its exponential!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 17 points 1 hour ago

No, it's just incremented

It’s just C with a garbage collector built-in, so even easier, duhhh.

I may have missed the joke but C++ doesn't have built in garbage collector. Even recent versions of the standard merely allow it but don't specify it is required.

Did you forget the /s or is this the tactic where you intentionally post wrong statements in order to get people to correct you so that you learn something?

C++ doesn't have a garbage collector

I think the "duhhh" is a pretty good stand-in for a sarcasm marker
