The following two do the same thing:
1. (*structure_pointer).field
2. structure_pointer->field
using data structure an element can insert at any position easily. with out traversing through the entire list.
Stacks are often implemented using the same node structure as a linked list.
Accessing data by address. Some data-structures, like lists and trees, are usually implemented using pointers.
I have no need to flag memory leaks or unassigned pointers because I eliminate all leaks at source by using resource handles, smart pointers and making proper use of RAII.
This type of sorting can b performd by simply transferring all the matrix elements in a single dimension array of 1X16 size and then sorting this array and then transferring the elements back to 4X4 matrix. You can also treat the 4x4 matrix as a simple array using pointers and, thus, not need to transfer from matrix to array and back. Example, using ellipses (...) to simulate indentation for clarity... int matrix[4][4] = {...some values...} int *element; int flag = 1; while (flag == 1) { /* simple bubble sort */ ... flag = 0; ... /* loop from first element to next to last element */ ... for (element = &matrix[0][0]; element < &matrix[3][3]; element ++) { ... ... if (*element > *(element + 1)) { ... ... ... flag = 1; ... ... ... *element ^= *(element + 1); /* exclusive or swap */ ... ... ... *(element + 1) ^= *element; ... ... ... *element ^= *(element + 1); ... ... } ... } }
(*ptr).field or ptr->field
using data structure an element can insert at any position easily. with out traversing through the entire list.
Using this you specify that two pointers can't point on the same address

Stacks are often implemented using the same node structure as a linked list.
In C programming, header files are required. It doesn't matter if you are using near pointers, far pointers, both, or neither -- you still need header files. There is no connection between the necessity of header files and the pointers' size.

To add hydrogens to a molecular structure using PyMOL, you can use the "hadd" command followed by the selection of the atoms you want to add hydrogens to. This command will automatically add hydrogens to the selected atoms in the molecular structure.
There are many uses of pointer in C. Pointers are efficient and elegant to use. All string variables are pointers, and calling a function using a pointer allows the function to change the value globally. These are what you can do with pointers in C. 1) Returning multiple values by passing address of variables. eg. foo(&a,&b,&c); 2) When you want to modify the value passed to function. eg. scanf() function. int n; scanf("%d",&n); /* pass address of variable n so that scanf can change its value*/ 3) When you need to pass large data structure to function, it is more efficient to pass pointer to structure than passing the entire structure. If you don't want to modify the structure members, you can use 'const' keyword which the ANSI-complaint C compiler will either warn or give error if you modify. eg strlen(const char *str) in string library should not modify the content of str. 4) Implementing 'goto' data structures are easy with pointers. eg. linked-list,binary trees, hash table. 5) You can allocate dynamic memory using pointers. 6) Pointers to function are used for call back function and jump table. eg qsort() and bsearch() functions require the caller to provide pointer to function to do the comparison.
