i finally get pointers

This last hour watching this video was the best hour of education I had in years ! Although I previously knew about pointers, I didn't miss a second.

I wish my professor was this enthusiastic!

You are the best professor in the WORLD. Thank you for sharing video on youtube.

Hope he hasn’t started another sars equivalent Hunh, how uh, serendipitous

Joke didn’t age well

Totally gonna watch his lectures instead of ones that I can listen on my university, cause this guy's explaination skill rocks!

This lecture makes me unbelievably happy. Richard's explanation of pointers is simply brilliant. He then performs some hilarious magic tricks and even rewards his students with 256 Mars bars. This is amazing!

This guy really knows how to teach. Out of all the videos I've watched about pointers, this one clarified the concept at a fundamental level.

LMAO at that joke @0:58....watching this in mid-March of 2020 XD

Nothing between these walls ever leaves this walls, loved your confidence sir.

Like the fifth video I've looked up, this one has taught me everything i could want to know at this stage and more. This guy 's a great teacher!

WILLIAM such a good question 17:45 . I was searching for hours on internet WHY,WHY,WHY should we use pointers instead of normal variables. Mr.Richard is an amazing teacher

Finally understood pointers !! Best lecture ever. Truly educational.

Oh darn, when I see proffessors like this Im sad that theres not more of them like this one, great study, fun explaining of things, and compairing things from everyday use with virtual things. That was a nice hour of great education!

Wow. I've been looking everywhere for a good pointer (pun intended) to pointers, and this by far has to be the best. Cleared up everything I was unsure of. Amazing lecturer!

Incredible! I spent last few days trying to understand pointers and this video explained it so beautifully. He not only explained what pointers are but also why do we need it.

For those here in 2023, hit the like button😅😅😅... I totally love this Professor's passion. He made Pointers absolutely look easy peasy. Thank you Professor Richard

can't unsee the John Green in you :D Thank you so much for your clear expression of the pointers and thank you for your great passion!

Just loved it...understood every bit of pointers..undoubtedly the best professor ever. Please don't stop the good work and keep on uploading his lectures..we'd be really grateful to you!!

guys... sshhh shhhhh :)

didn't know John Green knew so much about programming. Cool guy!

Brilliant. Thank you so much. I've gone over the lecture material for my own uni so many times trying to grasp this. That was so clear.

what a lecture!!!!!!!! SO MUCH DEDICATED IN THEIR WORK HOPE U KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB:)

one of the best explanations I have seen about pointers to pointers (the crazy exam question example).

The quality of teaching is just insane, everything is so clear, i wish all of the colleges in India would teach this way :/

Had the pleasure of meeting and attending lectures by Richard Buckland at UNSW. He is a legend and a brilliant, well loved lecturer. An asset to the university.

More teachers like this guy needed for sure. Things get complicated when ya look at stuff like int **p1 / array of pointers / pointer to an array of x / function pointers, etc... list goes on.

Wow this guy is genuinely interested in teaching, he was so good that I, who has a hard time focusing in a real class, sat in front of my laptop and watched it all in one setting with focus. Wish more professors were like him.

BEST EDUCATIONAL VIDEO I HAVE SEEN BEST LECTURER I HAVE SEEN AMAZING VIDEO AMAZING MAN 10/10 THANK YOU SO MUCH

I finally understood how can I use pointers, great lesson! (also, the teacher is so sweet c: doing magic tricks and bringing presents hahaha aww) thanks for uploading this!

Great stuff! Our class didn't go into the usefulness of it and now it makes SOO much more sense. Thanks!

this guy is a top class lecturer!

Wow.... That's a beautiful lecture that surely removed all my doubts about pointer... And the guy makes things quite simple and easier to understand... Great job Sir...

hands down the best video on pointers. amazing lecture

This really helped me understanding pointers , I wish I had teachers like this guy.

Fortunately I've started to read the comments while watching the video. Thx man

"In other languages, [scoffs] you write like this: p1 is a pointer to int, but in C we write it like this: star-p is an int." Brilliant!

One of the best guides, subscribed to this channel!

I really really really enjoyed this class, He's like the liveliest teacher I've ever known!!!!

I wish I had him as a professor. This one video has helped me understand pointers than prior professors or textbooks.

I love this guy's passion and energy. I have been trying to get my head around pointers for ages and just avoided them. Now I understand!

ur awsome..non of my teachers are like u..they never teach us like this...they just gives me power point slides and say me to do everything...this is very helpful to me...thank u so much..

I thought this would be difficult to understand, but you explain very well. thanks!

If only we had teachers like you! Thanks a ton for this!!!

Finally understand pointers now thankyou!!! Only lecture able to explain the purpose of pointers.

Wow, months of studying c and c++ = 0 understanding of pointers. 48 minutes of this guys lecture and I can use them with ease.

ok i'l admit i thought i was done for in coding C. discourage and unmotivated because no one could really teach me well and i tried all sorts of tricks and tips to help me learn so i wouldn't be a burden to anyone, but after seeing this vid about 1 to 2 hr later i fully understand the subject that cause me to drop my class because it was too heavy in use. now im confident that i will ace my class up coming semester thank you his teaching style make you understand it perfectly.

Finally I understand pointers! This is a very good teacher.

This is way clearer than the lecture I had today about pointers.

Watched the magic tricks at the end out of respect for quality lesson -- ended up learning another lesson. Thanks for making this -- it was really really helpful.

This guy is amazing! He makes things so easy to understand. Good refresher.

This is the best professor I've seen so far! And I've seen a lot. I'm 35 and still studying, so go figure it :)))

this guy is so talented in teaching!

good lecture!! like the magic :) His passion is just awesome

Just great, it's a pity that my teacher wasn't anything close to this.

Awesome.. The best teacher in world

i love professor voice and his teaching style.

"Hopefully I didn't start a SARS equivalent " lol

Wow, this guy propably made me find what im going to do after high school! Programming is so interesting!

Thank you very much Richard! You really know the good way of teaching!

Awesome style of teaching, learning made fun.... Thank you Mr.Richard :)

A simple explanation of pointers. int* creates a pointer variable which can store the address of another integer. if we say int* a, a is now ready store the address of int b. To get the address of variable b, we say &b. So now we can say a = &b; . We should also remember that a also has an address and can be referred to by saying &a. *a returns the value stored at the address stored in a. That is b. Lol!

I have not touched java in a while. a should return the address and *a should give the value stored at that address if my understanding of pointers is still intact.

This is so good! I finally understood the basics of pointers!

Best teacher ever! How I wish he was my mentor :(

This was extremely helpful. Always nice to have that crazy teacher liven things up.

This lecture is incredible. Thank you.

cant be better explained as this, thank you so much.

EXCELLENT lecture!!!

This feel inside me, you're good for me Very comprehensive course, thanks for that

I feel exactly the same way, I studied computer science @ University of Hertfordshire. Complete SHAM, no C taught what so ever. All I learned was JAVA. Working as a Telecoms Engineer in embedded development. I find my self struggling, however this video cleared pointers up for me Thanks you Sir

Love how he says 13... shhhh.. shhhh.. shhhh :-) This is a big help, thx for uploading it!

Absolutely fantastic explanation! I wish I could have this kind of education!

this is the best tutorial ever i know how pointers works now thanks Richard

This was a great tutorial for pointers! Big thanks for uploading this!

i've watched a lot tutorials about pointers and i haven't understood them till now, THANKS !

Amazing professor, crystal clear explanation! Kinda looks like wilson from house

Richard is the BEST TEACHER EVAR!

This is brilliant, I wish I had him for a professor.

Holy shit this is useful. I wish my teachers were as engaged in the subject as this guy is.

Great lecture i love his energy

Now those are the kind of teachers we need!

what an enthusiastic performance! you can see he's doing it with passion and is having fun. An excellent teacher. :) And also thanks a lot! I've always felt that the use of * was inconsistent in C, thought that it was different when used in declarations compared to the rest of the program - until that great explanation! :))

Wow, come now, this guy is fantastic! I wish I could have a king of education like they have!

Absolutely love it.

really liked his way of teaching ...quite dedicated

GREAT lecture & GREAT explanation

Excellent lecture, thank you for sharing

finally , now I understand what is a poiter thank you

great personality.. Richard sir you are awesum

14:53 This example is enlightening. Thinking about it will teach you a bit about how C compilers usually work. They usually have a notion of 'lvalues' (expressions that can appear on the left hand side of the assignment operator) and 'rvalues' (expressions that can't). In his example (&&&***x), we'd have to assume that x is at least an n-fold pointer (so that we can dereference it at least three times). We can then apply the reference (&) operator once to get the address of this value, but the second use of & is where it already goes wrong. At that point, we're trying to get the address of an rvalue - something that doesn't live at a memory address, but is just an expression floating around ready to be used. If you try it in C, it won't even compile. He suggests trying the other way around (***&&&x), but this has the same problem at the second use of &. One way to do something that WILL work is to try declaring x and then successively declaring pointers to x, pointers to this pointer, and so on. If you do this, you can successfully dereference the final pointer three times to get back x. TLDR: any occurrence of '&&' is going to fail.

Oh my God,,amazing;thanks is a very little word ;thank you very very very very much; God bless and guide you Rana from Egypt
