00.01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Pointers in C and C++ |
00.06 | In this tutorial we will learn, |
00.08 | Pointers. |
00.10 | To create Pointers. |
00.12 | And operations on Pointers. |
00.14 | We will do this with the help of an example |
00.18 | To record this tutorial I am using Ubuntu operating system version 11.10 |
00.25 | gcc and g++ compiler version 4.6.1 on Ubuntu |
00.31 | Let us start with an introduction to pointers |
00.34 | Pointers point to the locations in memory. |
00.38 | Pointers store the memory address. |
00.41 | It also gives value stored at that address. |
00.45 | Now, let us see an example on pointers |
00.48 | Note that our file name is pointers_demo.c |
00.54 | Let us go through the code now |
00.56 | This is our header file as stdio.h |
01.00 | This is our main function |
01.03 | Here we have long integer num assigned value 10. |
01.09 | Then we have declared a pointer ptr. |
01.12 | Asterisk sign is used to declare a pointer. |
01.16 | This pointer can point to type long int. |
01.20 | In the printf statement ampersand is used for retrieving memory address of the variable. |
01.28 | So ampersand num will give the memory address of num. |
01.33 | This statement will print the address of the variable num. |
01.37 | Over here ptr stores the address of num. |
01.41 | This statement will print the address of ptr.
|
01.45 | Sizeof function will give the size of ptr. |
01.49 | This is will give the value of ptr. |
01.51 | That is the memory address of num. |
01.54 | And here asterisk ptr will give the value at the address. |
01.59 | So using asterisk will not give the memory address. |
02.03 | Instead it will give the value. |
02.06 | %ld is a format specifier for the long int |
02.10 | Now, let us execute the program |
02.13 | Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard |
02.21 | To compile type gcc space pointers underscore demo dot c space hyphen o space point
|
02.32 | Press Enter |
02.34 | Type dot slash point. Press Enter |
02.39 | The output is displayed |
02.42 | We see that the num address and ptr value is same. |
02.48 | Where as memory address of num and ptr are different. |
02.53 | Then the size of pointer is 8 bytes. |
02.57 | Also the value pointed by ptr is 10 which was assigned to num. |
03.03 | Now let us see the same program in C++. |
03.07 | Note that our file name is pointer underscore demo.cpp |
03.13 | Here we have few changes like the header file as iostream |
03.19 | Then we are using the std namespace |
03.23 | And we have the cout function in place of printf function |
03.28 | Rest all the things are similar |
03.30 | Let us execute the program. Come back to our terminal. |
03.34 | To compile type g++ space pointers_demo.cpp space hyphen o space point1, press Enter |
03.50 | Type dot slash point1, press Enter |
03.55 | We can see that the output is similar to our C program |
04.00 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
04.03 | Come back to our slide |
04.05 | Let us summarize |
04.06 | In this tutorial, we learnt |
04.08 | About the pointer. |
04.10 | To create a pointer. |
04.12 | And operation on pointer. |
04.14 | As an assignment, write a C and C++ program, |
04.18 | To declare a variable and pointer. |
04.21 | Store the address of variable in the pointer. |
04.24 | And print the value of the pointer. |
04.27 | Watch the video available at the link shown below |
04.30 | It summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project |
04.33 | If you do not have good bandwidth, you can download and watch it |
04.37 | The Spoken Tutorial Project Team |
04.39 | Conducts workshops using spoken tutorials |
04.43 | Gives certificates to those who pass an online test |
