Batch 124 - St Theresa College of Engineering

A new batch started today. Thought a discussion on C language
will give them a solid foundation as well as
rekindle an interest in programming/coding.

Some of the topics discussed are...
1. size of int in C, how its based on the underlying architecture.
2. behavior[floating value] of float and double types and why the peculiar names.
3. printf function - far pointer - video memory - 0xB0008000
4. dangling pointer, memory leak situation
5. value types / reference types
6. benefits of 'passing by reference'
