Learning to Program in C (Part 06)

[@TheRiL3z]

This series has greatly improved my understanding of programming concepts in general. Now I understand a lot better why so many other languages I've used look more or less 'c-like.' I know you don't have that many views but understand what you're doing is certainly worth it for at least a few of us!

Learning C in the mornings is a lot tougher when there is no coffee to be had. But, my caffeine deficiency aside, this is a great guide.

what the heck is Char* ? I dont recall it being discussed.

[@alrightsquinky7798]

Hey THEtechknight, Short answer: char* in a function declaration means string. Slightly longer answer: char* is a pointer to a character variable in memory, which could be an array. You can think of "char *var" as an alternative syntax to "char var[]" in a function declaration, since they are both means of accessing contiguous areas in memory. For the most part, using "char var[]" and "char *var" are going to accomplish the same task, but the benefit of using the pointer syntax "char *var" comes once you get into dynamic memory allocation, another topic altogether. From my experience, people tend to prefer "char *var" when passing strings to functions.

In the C function array anatomy (I) slide, the main function does not have a return value. I think this is OK sometimes, but I am not sure.
