Pointers, Arrays, and Recursion

This specialization develops strong programming fundamentals for learners who want to solve complex problems by writing computer programs. Through four courses, you will learn to develop algorithms in a systematic way and read and write the C code to implement them. This will prepare you to pursue a career in software development or other computational fields.Successful completion of this Specialization will be considered by admissions as a demonstration of your skill and enhance your master's application to Duke's Pratt School of Engineering.

Course Description

The third course in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C introduces the programming constructs pointers, arrays, and recursion. Pointers provide control and flexibility when programming in C by giving you a way to refer to the location of other data. Arrays provide a way to bundle data by guaranteeing sequences of data are grouped together. Finally, recursive functions-functions that call themselves-provide an alternative to iteration that are very useful for implementing certain algorithms.

Andrew Hilton is an Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. He has taught at Duke since 2012, and prior to that he was an advisory engineer at IBM. Among the courses Professor Hilton teaches at Duke is ECE 551, an intensive introduction to programming course that successfully prepares graduate students with no programming experience to learn programming and go on to complete more advanced programming courses. In recognition for excellence in teaching in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke, Professor Hilton received the Klein Family Distinguished Teaching Award in 2015. Professor Hilton holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania.
