- Hey,
- Ok, I understand what pointers *are*, I know how to declare one, how to
- use them with simple things and sometimes how to use them to do dynamic memory
- allocation. I don't feel very comfortable with them yet, nor have I seen any
- practical example of where they are useful *except* for dynamic memory
- allocation and in functions...and in arrays, but I am not very comfortable in
- any of these uses anyway, and can't think of a real problem where it would be
- advantageous or neccesary to use them. I have also had some trouble using them
- with STRUCTURE arrays (havent tried classes yet but I assume I will run into
- similar problems)
-
- If anyone has a good idea for a programming exercise that would get me
- familiar with pointers tell me. My tutorial's exercises are way too easy. If
- it was an interesting one that would be nice, but just so I get comfortable
- with them. I don't really know them well enough to think of a good exercise
- myself, or I would. Thanks for the help in advance. Please reply via email,
- this newsgroup grows too fast. Thanks.
