Course Overview
Welcome to Mastering Pointers in C++, a course designed to deepen your understanding of one of C++’s most powerful features—pointers. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate programmer looking to refine your skills, this course will provide a solid foundation in working with pointers and memory management in C++.
We’ll begin by exploring the dereference operator (*) and address operator (&), key concepts for manipulating memory locations in C++. You’ll learn how pointers work with arrays and how to handle constant pointers and constant targets. We’ll also cover the versatile void pointer, and the advanced topic of function pointers, allowing you to point to and execute functions dynamically.
You’ll also see how pointers interact with classes, giving you control over objects and memory management in object-oriented programming.
Throughout the course, practical examples will solidify your understanding. You’ll learn through examples like using pointers in for-loops, passing function arguments as pointers, and passing arguments by reference for efficient memory use.
