Learn and Master C Programming - Passing Pointers to Functions: Let's Implement Swap Function!

The video tutorial covers the use of pointers in C programming, specifically focusing on implementing a swap function using pointers. It begins with setting up a new C project in Visual Studio, followed by an explanation of pointers and their application in functions. The tutorial then demonstrates how to implement a swap function using pointers, highlighting common errors and debugging techniques. The session concludes with a summary and a preview of future topics related to pointers.
