Pointer Tricks that Leveled Up my Programming

C and low-level programming lets you get down to the underlying memory and bytes like no other language (except maybe assembly lol). The realizations from this have fundamentally changed the way I think about programming. Example code used (DEMO ONLY, NOT PRODUCTION): https://hoff.industries/files/memory.zip Chapters: 00:00 - Intro and Overview 01:09 - it's all bytes? always has been. 01:33 - struct's representation in memory 03:20 - padding and alignment 04:41 - viewing a struct's underlying memory 07:14 - modding a struct's underlying memory DIRECTLY 08:14 - inspecting the bytes that make up a float 11:02 - linux kernel's ip packet header example 12:47 - ENDIANNESS IS HERE TO RUIN OUR FUN 14:17 - getting header data from a PNG file with struct casts
