Notes on Pointers Pointers are one of the things that make C stand out from other programming languages, like Python and Java. They are important in C, because they allow us to manipulate the data in the compute
C Dangling Pointers Explained - Learn about dangling pointers in C programming, their causes, and how to avoid them with practical examples.
In the above code, we took three pointers pointing to three strings. Then we declared an array that can contain three pointers. We assigned the pointers ‘p1’, ‘p2’ and ‘p3’ to the 0,1 and 2 index of array. Let’s see the output : $ ./arrayofptr p1 = [Himanshu] p2 = [...

In the section Pointers and Multidimensional Arrays, we will examine this behavior in more detail. Multidimensional Arrays Multidimensional arrays have two or more dimensions. As with two-dimensional arrays, multiple sets of brackets define the array’s type and size. In the following example, we ...
One approach is to cast the pointer as a pointer to void and then display it using the %p format specifier as follows: printf("Value of pi: %p\n", (void*)pi); Pointers to void is explained in Pointer to void. To keep our examples simple, we will use the %p specifier and not ...
It is worth mentioning that pointers are unique in the sense that the addresses they point to can be used directly by hardware, but this is not the case for the higher-level twin concepts like references. Having a deep understanding about pointers and the way they work is crucial to become...
argument to the functions. Generally we pass them by value as a copy. So we cannot change them. But if we pass argument using pointer, we can modify them. To understand about pointers, we must know how computer store variable and its value. Now, I will show it here in a very simple...
C Programming Absolute Beginner’s Guide is a book written by Greg Perry and Dean Miller. This book teaches some basic concept of C language with clear and easy steps. The book explains the method to organize programs and work with variables, operators, I/O, pointers, functions, etc. This...
This tutorial is intended for programmers who already know how pointers and references work and are used to systems programming concepts such as integer widths and memory management. We intend to cover, primarily, the differences between Rust and C++ to get you writing Rust programs quickly without...
