I'm trying to make a point in my C++/data structures class about two-dimensional arrays being an array of one-dimensional arrays, so I thought I'd be clever and whip up the following quickie sample ...

Pointers — you either love them, or you haven’t fully understood them yet. But before you storm off to the comment section now, pointers are indeed a polarizing subject and are both C’s biggest ...

In our first part on pointers, we covered the basics and common pitfalls of pointers in C. If we had to break it down into one sentence, the main principle of pointers is that they are simply data ...

The previous two posts (part 1 and part 2) have been exploring the fundamentals of using pointers from the basics of declaring a pointer to the more complex notation of manipulating pointers. An ...

The awesome power of C cuts both ways. Here’s what to watch out for, and how to keep your C programs on the straight and narrow. Few programming languages can match C for sheer speed and machine-level ...

Knowing how references really differ from pointers should help you decide when to use references and when to stick with pointers. In C++, references provide many of the same capabilities as pointers.
