01. C Programming for IA: Binary information, logic gates, memory addresses

In this second video in my series of C programming for image analysis (CPIA), I discuss how information is stored in a computer and explain the concept of memory addresses, logic gates and the binary number system. You will also learn about segmentation faults, crashes and undefined behaviour. These tutorials are designed for mature students without prior experience in programming, computer science, maths or engineering. CONTENTS ======== 00:00 Summary of subjects covered 00:22 Binary counting and logic gates 02:41 Binary units: Bit, Nibble, Byte, Word 05:05 Types of Memory, Microcode, Addresses 09:41 Memory read / write operations 12:50 Segmentation faults, crashes, undefined behaviour 15:11 Addressing multi-byte blocks, data types 16:16 Summary of learning points SUPPORT PUMA ============ PUMA is an open source microscopy project.
