Adventures in C

If you’re more familiar with Python and you want to learn C you’ll need to tackle pointers…

Let’s look at an example :

The first thing you may notice is that there is no need for a “return” from the function….

Example 1 – Pointers

#include<stdio.h>

void tripler(int *p);


int main(){
    
    int num = 5;
    int *ptr;
    ptr = &num;

    tripler(ptr);
    printf("%d",*ptr);
}


void tripler(int *p){
    *p = *p * 3;
}

Example 2 – Pointer that updates conditionally, based on values read from an array

Example 3 – How to convert seconds into h:m:s

Example 4 – Hundreds, tens, units from a 3 digit integer.
