How can I study and practices on C++ pointer?

Question

I'm moving from C# to C++, one of priority topic for me is pointer. I'm reading some book and some blog post about pointer and I understand its basic concept. Now I want to learn about pointer by practicing it.

I try to search on google, unfortunately not thing found. Are there anything can help me study and practices on C++ pointer?

Answer 1

I would agree with GMan's comment that a good C++ book is the way to go to do this properly.

Aside from that the most important thing when learning pointers in C++ is to use smart pointers. These can be found in the appropriate boost library. Using these from the outset will save you much pain in the future.

Also boost is a GREAT resource for any C++ programmer and you should familiarise yourself with it.

Answer 2

Just google for "learn C pointers". For example, you'll find stuff like http://computer.howstuffworks.com/c20.htm

Once you understand what a pointer is, what it does, and how it is managed, start using C++ smart pointers which take care of some of the grunt work for you.

Hope these links work for you. I found it easily on google.

There is a very good book by an Indian Author by name Yashawant Kanetkar THe book is Understanding Pointers in C.

Even though the examples will be in C it is worth to learn using this book http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Pointers-C-Yashavant-Kanetkar/dp/8176563587
