1.2. HASH POINTERS AND DATA STRUCTURES哈希指针及数据结构 一、Hash pointer 哈希指针 书中原话:A hash pointer is a pointer to where data is stored together with a cryptographic hash of the value of this data at some fixed point in time. 我的理解:哈希指针指向某个特定时刻下,数据及数据的加密后...
We should Note that the hash stored in the hash pointer is the hash of the whole data of the previous block, which also includes the hash pointer to the block before that one. This makes it’s impossible to tamper a block in the blockchain without letting others know. Tamper Evident Pro...
3. Data structuresAlthough C doesn't have the notion of class as in object-oriented languages, it does have the structure, which allows you to define a new data type representing a conglomeration of data. The primary distinction between a class and a structure is that a class can have ...

Pointers are essential when implementing many data structures. Unlike the elements of an array being next to each other in memory, elements of many other data structures are apart. Such data structures are based on the concept of their elements pointing at other elements. For example, each node...
The real power of pointers is that, in conjunction with records, it makes dynamically-sized data structures possible. If you need to store many items of one data type in order, you can use an array. However, your array has a predefined size. If you don't have a large enough size, ...
of another data element. this allows for the creation of an array where each element can point to a different location in memory, typically pointing to other variables or data structures. it allows you to manage multiple memory locations through one array, and it's commonly used in languages ...
Apointeris a general concept for a variable contains an address in memory. Smart pointersare data structures that not only act like a pointer but also have additional metadata and capabilities. The concept of smart pointer is usually implemented by using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes...
They are important in C, because they allow us to manipulate the data in the computer's memory. This can reduce the code and improve the performance. If you are familiar with data structures like lists, trees and graphs, you should know that pointers are especially useful for implementing th...
Double pointers are instrumental in a variety of programming scenarios, particularly in dynamic memory management and the implementation of complex data structures. Dynamic Memory Allocation Double pointers are often used with malloc() and realloc() functions for dynamic memory allocation. They allow for...
