Memory, Runtime Memory Organization, and Virtual Memory
Naveen Toppo, Hrishikesh Dewan · Apress eBooks · 2013
I have always wondered why the concept of a pointer is so dauntingly difficult to grasp. The concept of a pointer can be intuitively understood only if you are able to visualize it in your mind. By “visualizing” I mean being able to represent mentally its storage, lifespan, value, and so forth. Before getting into the nitty-gritty of pointers, however, you need to be equipped with the concepts of memory, runtime memory organization of the program, virtual memory, the execution model, and something of the assembly language. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
