Improve your programming through a solid understanding of C pointers and memory management. With this practical book, you’ll learn how pointers provide the mechanism to dynamically manipulate memory, enhance support for data structures, and enable access to hardware. Author Richard Reese shows you how to use pointers with arrays, strings, structures, and functions, using memory models throughout the book. Difficult to master, pointers provide C with much flexibility and power—yet few resources are dedicated to this data type. This comprehensive book has the information you need, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced C or C++ programmer or developer. Get an introduction to pointers, including the declaration of different pointer types Learn about dynamic memory allocation, de-allocation, and alternative memory management techniques Use techniques for passing or returning data to and from functions Understand the fundamental aspects of arrays as they relate to pointers Explore the basics of strings and how pointers are used to support them Examine why pointers can be the source of security problems, such as buffer overflow Learn several pointer techniques, such as the use of opaque pointers, bounded pointers and, the restrict keyword

This second edition of Data Structures Using C has been developed to provide a comprehensive and consistent coverage of both the abstract concepts of data structures as well as the implementation of these concepts using C language. It begins with a thorough overview of the concepts of C programming followed by introduction of different data structures and methods to analyse the complexity of different algorithms. It then connects these concepts and applies them to the study of various data structures such as arrays, strings, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, and graphs. The book utilizes a systematic approach wherein the design of each of the data structures is followed by algorithms of different operations that can be performed on them, and the analysis of these algorithms in terms of their running times. Each chapter includes a variety of end-chapter exercises in the form of MCQs with answers, review questions, and programming exercises to help readers test their knowledge.

Data Structures Using C brings together a first course on data structures and the complete programming techniques, enabling students and professionals implement abstract structures and structure their ideas to suit different needs. This book elaborates the standard data structures using C as the basic programming tool. It is designed for a one semester course on Data Structures.

Object Oriented Programming using C++: Object Oriented Programming using C++ teaches the generic Object Oriented Programming using C++ programming language in an easy-to-follow style, without assuming previous experience in any other language. A variety of examples make learning these Concepts with C++ both fun and practical. This book is organized in such a manner that students and programmers with prior knowledge of C can find it easy, crisp and readable. Each Chapter contains many example programs throughout the book, along with additional examples for further practice. KEY FEATURES Systematic approach throughout the book Programming basics in C++ without requiring previous experience in another language Simple language has been adopted to make the topics easy and clear to the readers Topics have been covered with more than 100 illustrations and C++ programs Enough examples have been used to explain various OOPs concepts effectively. This book also consists of tested programs so as to enable the readers to learn the logic of programming Discusses all generic concepts of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts such as Classes and Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism using Function and Operator Overloading and Virtual Functions, Friend Functions in detail with aided examples Use of Various Programming terms like variables and expressions, functions are simplified A number of diagrams have been provided to clear the concepts in more illustrative way Provides exercises, review questions and exercises as the end of each chapter equipped with more than 300 questions in various patterns and more than 170 programming exercises Samples are presented in easy to use way through Turbo C++ 3.0.

Discusses different aspects of OOP like Classes, Polymorphism, Inheritance, Virtual Functions and Friend Functions apart from fundamental concepts. In this book, extensive coverage has been given to illustrate standard templates like Vectors, Queues, Stacks, List and Maps.
