    This last hour watching this video was the best hour of education I had in years ! Although I previously knew about pointers, I didn't miss a second.

    @PapaWilk Před 9 lety +8

    This lecture makes me unbelievably happy. Richard's explanation of pointers is simply brilliant. He then performs some hilarious magic tricks and even rewards his students with 256 Mars bars. This is amazing!

    @vedranart Před 11 lety +1

    Oh darn, when I see proffessors like this Im sad that theres not more of them like this one, great study, fun explaining of things, and compairing things from everyday use with virtual things. That was a nice hour of great education!

  • @tanjagray9954

    Brilliant. Thank you so much. I've gone over the lecture material for my own uni so many times trying to grasp this. That was so clear.

  • @vitamink3
    @vitamink3 Před 5 lety

    Incredible! I spent last few days trying to understand pointers and this video explained it so beautifully. He not only explained what pointers are but also why do we need it.

  • @steveokinevo
    @steveokinevo Před 10 lety

    More teachers like this guy needed for sure. Things get complicated when ya look at stuff like int **p1 / array of pointers / pointer to an array of x / function pointers, etc... list goes on.

    @Gelar93 Před 9 lety

    Wow this guy is genuinely interested in teaching, he was so good that I, who has a hard time focusing in a real class, sat in front of my laptop and watched it all in one setting with focus. Wish more professors were like him.

    ok i'l admit i thought i was done for in coding C. discourage and unmotivated because no one could really teach me well and i tried all sorts of tricks and tips to help me learn so i wouldn't be a burden to anyone, but after seeing this vid about 1 to 2 hr later i fully understand the subject that cause me to drop my class because it was too heavy in use. now im confident that i will ace my class up coming semester thank you his teaching style make you understand it perfectly.

    what an enthusiastic performance! you can see he's doing it with passion and is having fun. An excellent teacher. :) And also thanks a lot! I've always felt that the use of * was inconsistent in C, thought that it was different when used in declarations compared to the rest of the program - until that great explanation! :))
