On: Pointers in C (2010)

[pjmlp]

Same here, but then again I already knew Z80, 80x86, 68000, Basic and Pascal before I got to learn C.

I guess it is a problem for those who C is the first language where they see pointers in action.

Yeah, so much this. I did most of my programming in asm in the mid 70s to early 80s. C wasn’t available back then on most 8-bit systems I used (Z-80, 6502, 6809, 1802, SC/MP). C pointers made complete sense to me once 16-bit microcomputers showed up.
