β¦ Synopsis
Gain a better understanding of pointers, from the basics of how pointers function at the machine level, to using them for a variety of common and advanced scenarios. This short contemporary guide book on pointers in C programming provides a resource for professionals and advanced students needing in-depth hands-on coverage of pointer basics and advanced features. It includes the latest versions of the C language, C20, C17, and C14.Β Β
Youβll see how pointers are used to provide vital C features, such as strings, arrays, higher-order functions and polymorphic data structures. Along the way, youβll cover how pointers can optimize a program to run faster or use less memory than it would otherwise.
There are plenty of code examples in the book to emulate and adapt to meet your specific needs.
