Sorting in C: Why the double pointers when sorting pointers? (qsort, mergesort, heapsort) — in this video we're looking at the built-in sorting functions in the C standard library (specifically qsort) and a common source of confusion (double pointers) when using them.
***
Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.
About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
