Study Notes
Compilation
- Basic C code structure illustrated with a simple program:
int main(void) { print("Hello"); }
- Assembly code representation begins with the
main
function, showcasing function prologue with stack manipulation. - The binary representation of the program illustrates how data is stored in memory.
Arrays
- Concept of arrays introduced, visualized with characters and their corresponding memory addresses.
- Example array: letters 'H', 'E', 'L', 'L', 'O' mapping each character to an index value.
- Array values can be structured as integers, demonstrating indexing and storage (e.g.,
int nights[] = {7, 8, 6, 7, 8};
).
Doubling Up Challenge
- A problem set assignment to create an integer array where each element is double the previous one, starting from 1.
- Encourages practice with arrays by requiring printing of each integer sequentially.
