The video tutorial covers the setup of a new project for learning pointer arithmetic in C. It explains the basics of pointer arithmetic, including incrementing and decrementing pointers, and demonstrates how to use these operations with integer arrays. Advanced examples are provided to show how pointers can be manipulated to change memory addresses. A function is implemented to print integers using pointer arithmetic, and the importance of handling null pointers to prevent program crashes is discussed.
