Syllabus
Week 1: Memory and pointers
By the end of Week 1, you will be able to both visualize the concept of a pointer in memory and use pointers in functions with simple pointer arithmetic. You will also demonstrate that an array name is a pointer performing pointer arithmetic and will create functions that accept and modify arrays.
Week 2: Multidimensional arrays
By the end of Week 2, you will be able to deference pointers using array notation and star notation. You will also be able to store multiple strings in an array and manipulate matrices.
Week 3: Dynamic memory allocation
By the end of Week 3, you will be able to distinguish between the stack and the heap memory spaces. You will also be able to allocate and deallocate memory programmatically in the heap for arrays.
Prerequisite
We recommend having completed the 3 first courses of the C programming with Linux Specialization.
