*sees an asterisk in code* My brain “OHHH HEEELLLLLLL NOOOOOO”

Commenting for Yt algorithm

Because it is very simple... which is why we need to talk about it. 😂

The fact that this guy is currently carving our way for our future just for us is priceless

I've been struggling for weeks trying to understand this and pointers and you literally got it to click in 15mins. You're amazing, subscribed.

Did you play the clip? 😂😂 Man I love his vids. You can't be bored to death.

Thanks Caleb, I've been following your C++ Tutorial way back 2019 because you are a great teacher, you saved me a lot.

Crazy. I was reviewing this earlier! Keep it up!

Love your teaching method and your comedy sprinkled throughout! Thanks man!

Thank you Caleb! I'm in a C++ bootcamp and your channel has taken me from failing to an A!

This was incredibly helpful, thank you for the detailed explanations!

This was a wonderful video. I'll be patiently waiting for more.

this is awesome! thank you so much for creating these illuminating lectures !

the way you teach is very effective and easy to understand. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining the memory efficiency of references, I like to know why code is "best practise"

This is the first time any C++ concepts really started to "click". Bro, keep up the good work! Thank you for your help!

Wish I found this video sooner. After 4 hours of trying to understand this concept I finally get it haha. Thanks!

Wow, Caleb! Thank you so much for starting this series. I am in the middle of your first series of C++. That series is really awesome. I like your teaching style. You are a great teacher. I found you concluded the previous series a little short. I am delighted to see this intermediate series is started. Kindly continue this series. Your series is really helpful.

this is great. Now I got it. My prof sucks. He mixed pointer and ref and totally confused us.

Nice, idk if you explained it really well or if after playing with references and coming back to an explanation was the final thing to make me understand this concept, but I feel like I finally get it.

Thanks for the great explanation! I am new to C++ and needed to understand this, and also the part after 13:00 was very informative and useful!

concise and clear. thanks dude

Thank you! This was well detailed and clear.

Great explanation Caleb! Awesome. Way to go!

Great video! Exactly the explanation I was searching for

This was such a great video all sorts of confusion got cleared so well. Thanks brother.

you explain things the best ive seen. thanks

You are a great instructor.

Love this video, he really does explain it far better than the course material in the 300 level undergrad course I'm currently taking. Also... LEEEEEEEEROYY JENNNNNNNNKINS

10:35 troll joke made me chuckle out loud, great video!

Thanks Caleb.you are an amazing teacher.

this video is actually fantastic, thank you so much, i appreciate your work, keep it up and good luck with everything :D

This can't be explained better than this. Top notch

I like the technique of your teaching. Really it's a great tutorial man

Bravo! Thank you.

Good tutorial. Thanks.

Thank you very much. God bless!!!

just perfect ! thank you!!

Nice! Thank you for this.

Thank you for this very useful video!

Bro. You're a beast. This is just what I was looking for.

At 13:30, what if you did like &b = &c? Would that work or can you only assign b directly and not it's address?

Thanks man. You helped me a lot.

so far the best explonation i could find

i am in love with your teaching style.

Very well explained!

Just finished the last series and I really hope this is the start of part 2

Best caleb in the world 👍❤️

Great video, thank you man

Thank you so much ✨

Thank you well explained

Few basic examples to remember: void work (x){return x;} // No reference void work (&x){return x;} // Argument reference void& work (x){return x;} // Function reference void& work (&x){return x;} // Argument + Function reference int& a=b; reference variable to variables int&& ref=work(x); reference from function (without reference) to variable int& ref=work(x); reference from function (with reference) to variable

your r great... such a simple and clear explantion /////

Nice video. I like how you dont write any code on a computer. makes it better

exactly what i looking for!

Thanks a lot!

I love the way that you write & diffrent in every time😂😂

Great video!!!

QUESTION: 7:58 to 8:04....doesn't "int &x" at the function refer to the 'address' of 'a' rather than the 'value ' of a ( ie '5')? That is, when we call the function, aren't we passing in the "address of a" rather than the "value of a"?

Thanks for the tips

how can we use pointer to reference like this (int *& a)

You make learning this like 10 times more fun, i apprecieate it!

Thanks caleb 💛

Hey can you make something on typescript

This is awesome !

I got problems but I had problems with understanding reference. It seems to me like reference is sometimes treated as a memory address but then you can also treat them as normal variables. When it comes to pointers it is clear when that you always have a memory adress and if you want to see what is on that memory address, or change what is on that memory address, you deference the pointer by putting a * in front of the pointer. These references are a little bit confusing because they sometimes act as pointers and they sometimes act as normal variables. I don't see why I can't just replace references with pointers. For instance the function swap would go like this. void swap(int* a, int* b) { int temp = *a; *a = *b; *b = temp; } Also, when you use pointers as arguments of a function you know you are passing memory addresses to the function so you expect that the function might change the variables whose addresses you are passing. I find pointers more clear and understandable than references.

Well explained

there is no love it button, so i will type. Love it, thanks a lot.

"But no... you just got trolled" I almost spit my coffee

Helped some what keep it up

Dude you are on fire today.

thank you for this

Thanks Caleb

I hate this dude when i was noob but still want to see this dude

IS THE USE OF "&" SAME AS WHEN YOU USE IT I EXCEL?

"Maybe that's a bit more depth than you need for this introductory video" Nope. Not for me, at least. That last detail you went over was super helpful. Thank you for the great video!

this is mean, reference is not a new variable refer to specific place in memory? it is the variable which it refer to??!! so this is not add on size of memory one place! right?

Your the best bro

Subscribed! 🙂

After watching this video I have two things to say: 1 - thank you, your explanation is heaven sent and 2 - after your Leeroy Jenkins comment, I gotta ask. You play WoW, because if you do were gaming 😂

This is a great video and I understand references and pointers now (from your other video). However, I could change the variables that were passed in as parameters even without references. For example (in C++ still because I've been learning for 2 days so far lol): void Swap(int x, int y) { int temp = x x = y y = temp } And that works fine so 🤷

4:28 I actually thought all this time that this were 3 completely different things. And it's just a variation in writing.

Young and Intelligent Your the best teacher Caleb. From Ethiopia

Dude you own.

Wait, is this C++ series part 2

I love this 😇😃omg so useful

This is FUN-THEN-MENTAL (fudamental)

So basically a reference is like a desktop shortcut for an exe application.

perfect!

what a mad lad

A reference (ref) does not occupy memory space, cannot be null, and cannot be modified. Attention!!!

Is there a playlist for these videos so I can watch them in order?

I wish i Saw this video at the beginning of the semester😭

12:05, I still don't get it, what if i just write "void swap (x,y)" in the first line ? btw, ur vid is just so clear, i can understand most of it quite ezly, i just dont get the idea of benefit when using it and the question above, why should i assign reference to a var when i can just call it directly ? Thank you :))

Thx

I understand it now :-)

Where is Embarcadero? : (

😂 love the puns in between

Frankly it is very difficult to give my comments to anybody but you deserved highly top and your flag is great I am still can't find thanking words for long time being misunderstood.
