C Pointers, Memory, and Low-Level Concepts
·
Module 4
Advanced Pointers and Memory Layouts
Double Pointers: Storage and Dereferencing
Explain what a double pointer (pointer to a pointer) stores and trace multi-level dereferencing in code.
2
Double Pointers for Pointer Modification
Use a double pointer to modify a pointer variable from within a function (e.g., reassigning a pointer passed from a caller).
3
Arrays of Pointers to Strings
Declare and use an array of pointers (e.g., `char *argv[]`) for managing a collection of strings.
4
2D Arrays vs. Pointer Arrays: Memory & Access
Compare the memory layout and access patterns of a 2D array vs. an array of pointers.
5
Mastering Complex Pointer Declarations: The Right-Left Rule
Interpret and write complex pointer declarations using the right-left rule (e.g., `const char *const *p`).
