Learn and Master C Programming - Passing Pointers to Functions: Let's Implement Swap Function!

The video tutorial covers the use of pointers in C programming, specifically focusing on implementing a swap function using pointers. It begins with setting up a new C project in Visual Studio, followed by an explanation of pointers and their application in functions. The tutorial then demonstrates how to implement a swap function using pointers, highlighting common errors and debugging techniques. The session concludes with a summary and a preview of future topics related to pointers.

What is the purpose of using pointers in the swap function?

Explain the difference between local variables and pointers in the context of the swap function.

How do you pass the addresses of variables A and B to the swap function?

How does the compiler differentiate between an integer and an integer pointer?

Describe the significance of using the dereference operator when working with pointers.

What changes need to be made to the swap function to correctly swap the values of A and B using pointers?

What are the potential pitfalls of using pointers in C programming?
