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 ...

In the first part of this series, we covered the basics of pointers in C, and went on to more complex arrangements and pointer arithmetic in the second part. Both times, we focused solely on pointers ...

Learn how managed pointers differ from object references, why they are useful, and how to work with them in C# A pointer is a variable that points to the address of another variable. In other words, a ...

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 ...

Here's a C/C++ program that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and BCD formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer ...

Architectures may allow or disallow unaligned memory access. While no special guidelines are required when unaligned memory access is allowed, if disallowed, the programmer must be careful. Ignoring ...
