Basics of C Programming Language

Description

If you have recently learned the basic C language and are wondering how to explore more and want to deepen your understanding of the language, then you must need to strengthen your knowledge of Pointers.

Pointers undoubtedly, are inseparable from the C language. The use of Pointers allows low-level instructions to be executed in your programs. Yet powerful but difficult to master, Pointers have found applications in system programming and performance programming.

Many new programmers after learning C language, makes improper or bad use of Pointers. This can eventually result into Segmentation faults, Undefined Behavior, accessing disallowed memories etc, which opens up Potential risks for the application and even the operating system.

Knowing the outcomes of Pointer operations is very crucial to make your programs robust. Another thing to keep in mind is pointer operations are system dependent. The memory model used on a particular system also plays an important role in executing the pointer operations.

By Mastering the Pointers, you open up a wide possibilities of functionalities. Like Dynamic Memory Allocation, Function Pointers etc. In this course, you will learn about basic Pointer Notations and operations, Dynamic Memory Allocation, Relation of Pointers with Functions, Arrays and Strings, etc. You will also learn about the important role that pointers play in creating and manipulating Data-structures, which are very important in Computer Science. Not only you will learn about Pointer operations, but I will also give you many Guidelines to properly use the Pointers.

So, if you have some basic knowledge of C, then dive into this Course to Master you Pointer skills, and set yourself apart from Novice programmers!
