C++11 auto className::functionName(Parameters..) -> Type

A few days ago I found a totally new syntax like
auto ClassName::functionName() -> something.

Then I started to find out what does it mean and got my answer. Today I am going to share this.
Lets we have a class as

what do you think? is there any problem?

Actually there is a problem. The enum Type declared inside the Class and when we will try to define the function outside the class, compiler will not found the Type there. In this case

Type Person::getType()
will cause an error.

Now there is a solution to avoid this error is to define the function inside the class. But what if you we don’t want to do that. How can we define such functions outside the class?
here comes the syntax We talked about.
auto className::functionName()->returnType

This is the feature of C++11.

in our case our function will be
auto Problem::getType() -> Type
{
return m_type;
}


Thank you.

How to check whether a character is from English language or not in Objective-C

Last day I needed to check the UITextField ‘s text whether it is from English language or other Unicode character form other language. And also how many characters are form English language and how many from others?

Here is how I solved this problem.

int counterEng=0;
int counterOther=0;
for(int i=0;i<[textField.Text length];i++)
{
unichar lastChar = [textField.Text characterAtIndex:i];
if(lastChar >= 0x000 && lastChar <=0x255)
{
NSLog(@"English");
counterEng++;
}
else
{
NSLog(@"Other Language");
counterOther+=2;
}
}

Here unichar is the type for Unicode characters and if its value is from 0x000 to 0x255 then this character is from English language. Otherwise it is from other language.

If you know any better solution please share with us.

Thanks.
