C Pointers and Memory

You can write a C function, a loop, and an if statement. That is all. If you have never seen a pointer before, that is the point of the class. The class starts from the picture, not from the syntax, so arriving knowing nothing about the topic itself is normal and expected.

Every Saturday, at 12:00 PM Eastern, online and live. The exact date of the next one, and the countdown to the seat list locking, are both at the top of this page. 3 hours are scheduled and the room can run to 5 at no extra cost.

This class is taught in C, because that is the language the topic gets examined in. Every problem on the worksheet is C as well.

It is built for the way this topic gets tested in courses like Seneca IPC144, UofT CSC209, Carleton SYSC2006, Any intro C course. Send your course code and your outline when you book and the problem set gets aimed at your version of it.

Four things, and they are listed on this page before you pay: Trace a pointer snippet you have never seen and state the exact output. Write a function that modifies its caller's variable through a pointer, from an empty file. Allocate, use, and free a dynamic array with no leaks and no crash. Look at a segmentation fault and name the cause before running anything. That is the mastery check, and it is done with AI closed and notes shut.

If you show up, do the work, and still cannot pass the mastery check by the end, you get a full refund. You keep the slides, the recording, the worksheet, and the solutions anyway, and you can sit any future run of the class free, as many times as you want, until it clicks. If you sit a Master Class and do not pass the mastery check, your seat in every future run of that same class is free, permanently. Not one retake, all of them. The class runs every Saturday, so the next one is never more than seven days away. Layer 3 asks one thing in return: that you actually tried. That means you attended the full class and handed in your attempt at the problem set, right or wrong. A blank page is not a failed attempt, it is a missing one. Refunds are issued within 3 business days.

Both are real, and both buy the same class. The first 5 seats in every Saturday class are $150. Seats 6 through 30 in that same class are $197. It resets every week, so how early you book is the only thing that decides which one you pay. At either tier it is per student, one flat fee, nothing else to buy.

You request a seat here, and nothing is charged on this page. I reply personally within 24 hours to confirm your spot for that Saturday and send payment details. Pay by card or e-transfer, whichever you prefer. Your seat is confirmed once payment is in, and the list locks 24 hours before class.

Then you choose, and either way you are not out of pocket. Option one: we run it anyway as a short session, 2 hours instead of 3, same price, and we still go to 5 hours if you need them. With that few people it is close to private tutoring. Option two: you roll to the next Saturday at no cost and keep your early bird price. Nobody gets told "sorry, cancelled" and left with nothing. Run it short: 2 focused hours instead of 3, same price, still extendable to 5 hours if you need them. With a handful of students this is closer to private tutoring than a class. Roll to next Saturday: Move to the following week at no cost and keep whatever price you locked in.

4 to 30 students. It runs once 4 students are booked and it is capped hard at 30. Hours one and two are taught to the room. Hour three is a supervised problem set: you work, I am live the whole hour, and I unstick anyone who stalls.

Then we keep going. 3 hours scheduled, up to 5 if the room still needs it, at no extra cost. I am not ending a class with students who still cannot answer the questions, and hours 4 and 5 are never billed.

Yes, both, and they are yours forever. The full deck, the complete recording with no expiry and no subscription to keep paying, the worksheet, and the worked solutions. You keep every piece of it even in the case where you take the refund.

A 1:1 session is hourly and shaped around whatever you bring that day, which is the right call when an assignment is due or your problems are spread across a whole course. A Master Class is one topic, 3 hours on a fixed Saturday, a written standard you have to meet, and a room of 4 to 30 students so you also hear the questions you did not think to ask.
