b[j][i]=a[i][j];
printf("%d ",b[i][j]);

So you wanted to print the value of b[i][j] after you updated b[j][i]?

How to draw a realtime XY plot in MFC

How to draw a realtime XY plot in MFC.

I have an existing MFC application in which there are many tags that changes continuously.
I have to show the value of 2 tags which changes dynamically. I have to plot an XY plot for the tags in a separate dialog or window in the existing MFC application.

Please suggest me some easiest or quickest ways of doing the above task.

Well the Microsoft Scribble sample would be a good start.

There are many good articles about drawing in mfc - which is really pretty much Win32. Rather than have that magical moment where you get it running and it flickers constantly, make sure to look into double buffering with a bitmap.

How do you generate random numbers in C++? I C# I had to use a seed and set some range limits/boundaries.

With rand - C++ Reference[^] function. You can find there few examples.

Keep it in mind before you post. And if you really want to learn a language there are many useful books and tutorials you can make use of.

You may use either the legacy rand()[^] function (with the srand one you might provide the seed), or the classes provided by the 'new' random header[^]. The latter is more sophisticated and has a somewhat more difficult interface. You might look at code samples, though, for instance, see the code in this page[^].

Return Statement in C| when I used print just after if condition it gave me "Equal multiple times" but when i used return statement it game me single time?

Using return where you do, exits the current function you are in, in this case it is main(). So you are exiting the program when you call return.

This is something I hate, but it's idiomatic. A C string ends with the character NUL, whose ASCII value is 0, which is equivalent to false. So the loop ends when the character NUL (usually written as '\0') is encountered. The check is equivalent to

name[i] != '\0'

but some people hate typing so much that they write this kind of thing.

The for statement breaks down as three individual expressions:

C++

for(set; while; do) :
//
// set : perform this or these expressions first: multiple expressions must be separated by commas
// while : repeat the loop while this expression equates to true
// do : perform this or these expressions at the end of each loop

Note that any of these expressions (or indeed all of them) may be blank.
In your code the expression in the while part is name[i], which means while name[i] is true, or rather while name[i] is not equal to zero. Strings in C are (or should be) terminated with a zero character (NULL), so the expression will be true as long as the character in question is not the terminating NULL.

Passing an entry from an array as argument

Can you pass an entry from the middle of the array as argument to a function?

void AFunction(int * ArrayItem, int size)
{
  
}

int TestArray[5];
AFunction(&TestArray[3], 5);
