05. C Programming for IA: Compiling 'Hello, World', argv, argc, structs, malloc, memory leaks, etc.

In this sixth and last video in my series on C programming for image analysis (CPIA), I demonstrate practicalities of compiling with the 'Hello, World!' program and show how to use arguments. I explain how to make new data types with structures and typedefs, the use of malloc, how to avoid memory leaks - and more! These tutorials are designed for mature students without prior experience in programming, computer science, maths or engineering.
