Topics discussed in this section: 9-2 Pointers for Inter-function Communication One of the most useful applications of pointers is in functions. When we discussed functions in Chapter 4, we saw that C uses the pass-by-value for downward communication. For upward communication, we normally pass an address. In this section, we fully develop the bi-directional communication. Topics discussed in this section: Passing Addresses Functions Returning Pointers Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

FIGURE 9-18 Exchange Using Pointers Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

Note Every time we want a called function to have access to a variable in the calling function, we pass the address of that variable to the called function and use the indirection operator to access it. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

It is a serious error to return a pointer to a local variable. Note It is a serious error to return a pointer to a local variable. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

9-3 Pointers to Pointers So far, all our pointers have been pointing directly to data. It is possible—and with advanced data structures often necessary—to use pointers that point to other pointers. For example, we can have a pointer pointing to a pointer to an integer. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

Topics discussed in this section: 9-4 Compatibility It is important to recognize that pointers have a type associated with them. They are not just pointer types, but rather are pointers to a specific type, such as character. Each pointer therefore takes on the attributes of the type to which it refers in addition to its own attributes.

Topics discussed in this section: 9-5 Lvalue and Rvalue In C, an expression is either an lvalue or an rvalue. As you know, every expression has a value. But the value in an expression (after evaluation) can be used in two different ways. Topics discussed in this section: Pointer Examples Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

value will always be available for processing. Note Create local variables when a value parameter will be changed within a function so that the original value will always be available for processing. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

Do not return one value and use address Parameters for the others. Note When several values need to be sent back to the calling function, use address parameters for all of them. Do not return one value and use address Parameters for the others. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C
