Pointers in C / C++ [Full Course]
Offered By: freeCodeCamp
Course Description
Overview
Embark on a comprehensive 3-4 hour course that demystifies pointers in C and C++, enabling you to use them more effectively in your code. Explore a wide range of topics, including pointer types, arithmetic, and void pointers, as well as their applications in arrays, function arguments, and dynamic memory allocation. Delve into advanced concepts such as function pointers, callbacks, and memory leak prevention. Gain practical knowledge through hands-on examples and in-depth explanations, applicable to both C and C++ programming. Developed by experts Harsha and Animesh from MyCodeSchool, this course offers a thorough understanding of pointers, from basic introductions to complex implementations in multidimensional arrays and dynamic memory management.
