C Programming: Advanced Pointers and Memory Management

In this course, we will examine a key concept, foundational to any programming language: the usage of memory. This course builds upon the basic concept of pointers, discussed in C Programming: Modular Programming and Memory Management, and introduces the more advanced usage of pointers and pointer arithmetic. Arrays of pointers and multidimensional arrays are addressed, and you will learn how to allocate memory for your own data during program execution. This is called dynamic memory allocation

• Visualize pointers to pass variables by reference in functions
• Apply pointer arithmetic for one- and multi-dimensional arrays
• Use arrays of strings to store string lists
• Control memory by dynamic allocation and freeing at runtime
