These are my notes taken while reading chapter 6 “Derived data types” from the book “Modern C” by Jens Gustedt.

This chapter discusses objects that consist of other objects, such as arrays, pointers, structures, and type aliases.

Whenever a computer program needs to store data of the size determined only during the runtime, then dynamic memory allocation is required. Memory allocation happens in the memory heap, and in C is commonly done via a library function malloc, which has subtle things with its usage that I would like to discuss here.

These are my notes taken while reading chapter 5 “Basic values and data” from the book “Modern C” by Jens Gustedt.

This chapter discusses values of different objects that are used in a C program, and how they are represented.
