When you write a variable in C, where does it actually go?
In this video, we follow a variable's journey from your source code all the way down to physical RAM. Along the way, you'll learn how operating systems use virtual memory, why memory addresses aren't real physical locations, and how modern computers create the illusion that every program owns its own memory space.
We'll explore the relationship between variables, virtual addresses, physical memory, and the operating system's memory manager, giving you a deeper understanding of what happens behind the scenes every time your program runs.
If you've ever wondered how memory actually works under the hood, this is the foundation you need before learning pointers, the stack, the heap, and advanced memory management.
