In our first part on pointers, we covered the basics and common pitfalls of pointers in C. If we had to break it down into one sentence, the main principle of pointers is that they are simply data ...

In the first part of this series, we covered the basics of pointers in C, and went on to more complex arrangements and pointer arithmetic in the second part. Both times, we focused solely on pointers ...

Many “freshman” programmers do not fully understand or appreciate pointers in the C language. When I wanted to learn about pointers— variables that contain a memory address— I took a book on summer ...

A concept in C programming that is absolutely essential and fundamental to all software design but often misunderstood is pointers. A pointer is used in C to point to the address of a variable or a ...

I have a bunch of hard-coded global 3D arrays of floats. I can loop through an individual 3D array just fine, but I also want to loop through all the 3D arrays. So, I thought of creating a ...

This is an excellent question. Zero-length arrays, also known as flexible arrays, are used to implement variable-length arrays, primarily in structures. That's a little confusing, so let's look at an ...
