javidx9 explains the basics of pointers, memory allocation, common pitfalls, and smart pointers in C++.

A bit different from me, but I felt like I needed a reference video that explained a few things about pointers. Included are the very basics, memory allocation, problems to avoid and smart pointers. This video is aimed at those earlier on with their programming journeys. discord.gg/WhwHUMV Blog: onelonecoder.com Twitter: @javidx9 Twitch: javidx9
