C Programming Tutorial - 42 - Pointers

[simonlevien]

I came here because goddamn Harvard's CS50 can't explain this, thank you so much

[Sami-hmkq]

I don't know why so many people are complaining. If you watch these videos in 1080p and in FULLSCREEN, you would see everything just fine .

[vishal]

18 dislikes? why? .. This video explained me more in 10 mins then my professor could in 10 weeks.. jeez (y) keep up the good work man..

9:31, "so the last thing I want to POINT out is"

I've been a C novice for, like, 20 years. This is helping me to finally understand pointers. I really liked this an your Git course. Thanks!

I named my cat Bucky because they both love tuna equally.

This was a good video.

You've definitely given me a few pointers.

Very helpful summary, clearly explains the basics of pointers by using approachable language and examples. It was refreshing to have someone begin from the lowest level possible and moving up to the more complex uses, unlike most videos and web articles. The format also makes it very easy to follow along and actually code a lot of this yourself as he leads on the video. Great video for someone looking for more information on the basics of pointers.

this is the clearest explanation of pointers that I have seen. Professors need to show this video

Great description, I know I found this topic to be difficult when I started learning C and many of my classmates still struggle with this topic sometimes. Using a simple analogy such as the house with an address example really helped me to get my head around this topic when I first learned it. I feel like I initially suffered due to the mentality of just moving the syntax around until it compiled/worked without fully understanding it. Starting at such a basic level then moving to syntax, then examples really helped me learn this topic. Thanks for the video!

very helpful, thank you so much! trying to study for a final

[matthewwood]

just saved me for my finals. starting at the basics and working through them simply has made it easier for me to refresh my knowledge and apply it practically

[seasnek]

Bro why can I find free, simple and easy tutorials on YouTube but my actual lecturers and tutors can’t do any of that! Bravo!

[JaskaranSingh-tfof]

You're the best. I got nothing else to say. Your explanations are simple, to the point and covers all the other respective details about the topic too.
My teacher worked so hard to explain it in two weeks, just made us - (students) more confused. Thanks a lot I learnt about pointers here than in my class.

[DenisBencic]

Pointers are so confusing concept that I had to watch tutorials 42 and 43 (which were way more informative than the lectures by the way) at least twice. I love how your tutorials are so consistent to the things we discussed on my lectures.

Note to viewers: Like %s expects a char *, %p expects a void *, NOT an int *. While his code may work on some systems, there are others it will crash on. You need to cast the int * to a void * first, eg: printf("%p\n", (void *) &tuna);

[PritiSingh-zfbn]

Bucky you are just greatest teacher, every teacher should like you. You make such a difficult thing the simplest

[ohaRega]

Great video, but a small little note for some viewers:
The memory address *is* a number. It is a hexadecimal (base 16) number. In fact this is important, because we do arithmetic operations on them. Add 1 to the address, and whoop, you are at the next byte in your memory, and so on.

[yingtang]

a pointer is a special type of variable that can hold the memory address of a variable.

[tobiasfeil]

wow, I read a book about C that explained a lot about pointers but it never actually told me that it's just a variable for an address. Or maybe I just don't remember that haha. That explains it so well, thanks!
