you will never ask about pointers again after watching this video

One of the hardest things for new programmers to learn is pointers. Whether its single use pointers, pointers to other pointers, pointers to structures, something about the concept drives new programmers crazy. The C programming languages is recognized as one of the most difficult programming languages to learn. The reason for this is the limitless power you have over memory management, which comes from pointers.

In this video, I show you what a pointer is, as it applies to low level memory access. Also, we talk about pointer syntax in C and how you can better understand the pointer syntax by converting it to English. And we wrap the video up by asking /”why do we care?/”.
