'''Q:'''Is the output for workshop 2 still suppose to be time or something else?<br>
'''A:'''No, it is supposed to just swap the values of each variables passed to swap function and display them in the main function.<br>'''Submitted by: ''' Shayan Vaghei & Mohamed Baig Team#4<br><br> '''Q:''' Unsigned long longs are the same size as doubles. Currently, unsigned long longs are swapping just fine after being cast as doubles, but I was wondering if we were supposed to differentiate between the two. If so, how can you do it when the only argument is size?<br>'''A:''' I was trying to do this with a case for each data type, but we're supposed to cast the void* pointers as char*, and then swap the values byte-by-byte.<br>'''Submitted by:''' Kevin Kofler, Team 9<br><br> '''Q:''' How to determine the size of a structure?<br />'''A:''' Same as primitive types, use sizeof().<br />BUT - if there are pointers pointing to, say, strings, sizeof() will only count the sizes of these pointers (which is platform dependent, 4 bytes/pointer on Matrix). The actual size of these strings won't be counted. <br />'''Submitted by:''' Yiqi, Team 5<br /><br /> '''Q:''' When we are swapping structs, and lets say we have two instances of structs, so do we just swap struct1.int1 with struct2.int2? etc..<br />
