C++ Pointers With Visual Studio Overview

This course covers a complex but critical topic of pointers in C++.  Pointers are a fundamental concept in C++ and are used in many different ways. The IDE being used is Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition for building and running the C++ application. 

Experience hands-on Coding to Understand the Indirection (dereferencing) of Pointers. Learning C++ pointers can help you write more efficient and powerful C++ code. Visual Studio is a powerful IDE that makes it easy to write, compile, and debug C++ code.
