ExpiredC Programming – Pointers Explained

Learn how pointers work using first principles.

• This free course is part of a larger 12-Hour course that has a 4-hour section on Pointers and much more. Search Udemy for “C-Programming for Beginners – Solid Foundations“.

This course demonstrates the basic concepts of the C programming language and their use in detail.

In contrast with most other C programming courses, here, we are not only focusing on the syntax of different statements but we are going in-depth, behind the scenes and explore how different statements operate. This is especially important when it comes to pointers and pointer manipulation as pointers directly interface with memory locations.

In this course you will learn:

• How pointers work
• Re-referencing pointers
• Pointers & Strings
• Pointers & Arrays
• Passing by value & passing by reference

This type of in-depth analysis will provide you with a rigid foundation upon which you can build a solid understanding of the C programming language. This rigid foundation, in turn, will ensure that you deeply understand how the programming language operates in the background you will be less likely to make mistakes when programming yourself.

A lot of additional support material is provided as part of the course, including all of the code that you see written on the screen and the slides presented.

Throughout the course, extensive use of slides and graphics is being utilised in order to aid the understanding and memorability of complex programming concepts. All lessons come complete with coding exercises to help you practice the new concepts that are being discussed during the course and ensure that you have a thorough and practical understanding.
