C and C++

• Practical C
• C: The Complete Reference
• Professional C++
• Handouts for Computer Science 107 (Stanford)
• Ted Jensen's Tutorial on Pointers and Arrays
• Marshall Cline's How to mix C and C++
• the expression &var_name[0] can be replaced by var_name
• if type *ptr, then
  • *ptr+1 means (*ptr)+1 and doesn't imply pointer arithmetic; but
  • *ptr++ means *(ptr++) and does imply pointer arithmetic (i.e., increment by sizeof(type))
  This ugliness is because of right-to-left precedence among unary operators, which are all of higher precedence than binary operators.
• ptr->member is the same as (*ptr).member
