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.
