Rich Richardson's fall 2012 Opus
CSCS 2330
Introduction
As the oldest person in the class, I hope that everyone will consider how many brain cells have been gained and how many have been lost over the many decades of my life. As someone that grew up in the 1960's, radical thoughts are always permeating below the rational thoughts residing in my brain. So please have some patience with me as I ask the same questions over and over again.
As for my personal pursuits, I have a state of the art music recording studio that I operate in Interlaken, NY. Now-a-days music recording studios use computers and software to record and edit music. We use the latest version of the industry standard, Avid's 'ProTools' exclusively at our studio. I hope to infuse some of the vast knowledge I am learning at the Computer Science department of Corning College into my business.
The recording studio is called Big Time Studio if you'd care to check it out sometime, or stop by our FACEBOOK page. Also if you're interested in doing some recording yourself or with your band, let me know.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this introduction. Rich

Keywords
data Keyword 1
pointer (what is it, declaration of).
Definition
To put it in simple terms, a pointer is a memory address. The first thing you must do with a pointer, is to declare a pointer variable. Set it to point somewhere, and finally manipulate the value that it points to.
A simple pointer declaration can be:
int *ip;
The asterisk used means that the “ip”, the variable that you are declaring, is not of the “int” type, but a type of “pointer to an int” type.
