Systems Level Programming - Week 3

Exercises and lab work for week 3

Tutorial exercises

  1. How do we declare and assign to pointers. How does dereferencing work?
  2. As an example consider the following C code. 
    int i;
int * ip;
    How do we set ip to point to i?
  3. Having set ip to point to i, we then say 
    i = 6;
    How do we access and print the value in i through the pointer ip?
