Variables + Memory Allocation - Part 2 of C Programming for Beginners

Variables are an essential part of programming, but because C is a low-level programming language, it requires you to think about defining data types for your variables. Today's video is the first in a three-part subseries on memory allocation. I explain memory allocation starting with binary math so that you understand the underlying computer science, then work up to variables.

Special thanks to my friend Preston Nichols for designing Builderdude35's awesome new introduction and logo!

Good introduction so far. If I were you I would mention that you are giving an introduction to RobotC which, so far, looks very similar to the C language.

Keep up the good work. It's fun to watch your videos.

Hi Kyle, thanks for the tutorials. I like your style. I wonder if you could recommend a good all round book for learning C, and as a future reference. many thanks in advance.

I don't know about Robot C but, in ANSI C, you *can* declare a variable as you are going to use them, although this tends to be considered poor style also.

So, for instance, for (byte counter = 0; counter <10; counter++) {..} was acceptable and was only available within the scope of the for loop.

(I'm old, so that may have been deprecated many iterations ago.)

I believe that C# is objectively the superior form of C, but I respect you anyway
