    Question Newbie Question...

    I am a newbie in programming,
    just learning the c language.
    I was skimming for quick tutorials on pointers and bitwise manipulation,
    and found these two at the same place:

    http://amkcoder.fileave.com/L_BitWise.zip
    http://amkcoder.fileave.com/L_ptr2.zip

    I am wondering if these are good tutorials for either topic.
    Thank you.

    The first 40 lines of L_ptr are OK, but after that it's increasingly bizarre rubbish and nonsense.

    Didn't bother with the other one.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I can't be bothered to look thru zip files, but if you need a tutorial on pointers you probably DON'T need a tutorial on bitwise manipulation
    ...but that's another newbie opinion
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
