Introduction

We've already seen some examples using pointers as we studied strings. This elaborates on those examples.

Examples

ptr0.c: first example of pointers

ptr1.c: pointer to array element goes out of bounds

ptr2.c: manipulate array elements using pointers

pArray.c: Reference an array using pointers on the left-hand-side of an assignment statement.

parameters.c: Show how array notation and pointers can be used interchangeably

parametersCPP.c: c++ program illustrating mixing pointers and arrays

referenceToPointer.c: Show how pointers themselves can be reference parameters

See online videos from Stanford explaining pointers.
