C Programming - Pointers, Constants and Strings
Course Description
This free online course takes a deep dive into the subject of pointers in C programming. It begins by discussing the use of pointers for direct memory access and manipulation in C. The material moves on to teach you about changing the memory location contained within a pointer and talks about pointers containing memory locations of multi-byte variables. It then explains how pointers have memory addresses and introduces the char pointer and explains why you need to learn pointers in C programming.
Furthermore, you will be learning about the important concept of constants and string literals in C programming before reviewing and clarifying some of the information you have learnt. Next, you will study both strings and constants in C, and a new way to visualize random access memory (RAM). You will also be learning how to use a pointer to directly manipulate data in memory in C programming.
Finally, you will study the character string as an array of characters in C programming. Whether you are aiming towards a career in computer programming or simply want to build your knowledge in one of the most popular program languages, this course is a great choice.
