Integrated Development Enviromments Module 2	Integrated Development Environment Compile Process Outline Compiler, Assembler, Linker, Loader The Edit-Compile-Link-Execute Process IDE Parts An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) brings all of the programmers tools into one convenient place. There was a time when programmers had to edit files, save the files out, run the compiler, then the linker, build the application then run it through a debugger. Today's IDEs bring editor, compiler, linker and debugger into one place along with project management tools to increase programmer productivity.

Module 7 Arrays Strings Functions Pointers	Begin Exercise 1 A: What is a histogram? Histogram.c Histogram code highlighted Array, Funtion & Pointer Summary B: TiresAndApples.c TiresAndApples Concepts Reference: Pointers are a fundamental part of C. If you cannot use pointers properly then you have basically lost all the power and flexibility that C allows. The secret to C is in its use of pointers. Pointers are fundamental to C C Programming/Pointers and arrays Is it a Value or Pointer? C uses pointers a lot. Why?: It is the only way to express some computations. It produces compact and efficient code. It provides a very powerful tool. C uses pointers explicitly with: Arrays, Structures, Functions. Variables Pointers Pointer Arithmetic Arrays Strings Functions 1) Call by Value 2) Pointers to functions 3) Call by Reference SWAP Calling Convention - machines The Call Stack - YouTube video Pointer tutorials Pointers - Tutorial Learning Pointers for Dummies Boston Videos: Playlist Pointers Functions Pass Arguments to Functions Pass by Reference vs by Value HW #5 Comments
