Pointers in C for Absolute Beginners – Full Course
Finally understand pointers in C in this course for absolute beginners. Pointers are variables that store the memory address of another variable. They “point” to the location of data in memory. With a bunch of examples, this course demystifies pointers and their various uses, covering topics such as passing by reference vs. value, void pointers, arrays, and more.
