Lecture Notes: 08 Values and References

Stuff to cover:

• Handling a linked list with a for loop.
• Header files, include guards, modules.
• Include quotes vs angle brackets.
• The concept of “ownership”, explicitly.
• Passing a value by reference vs. by value.
• Arrow vs dot in structs.
• The “java” pattern (all refs).
• Memory layouts of different structures.

typedef struct game {
    char* team1_name;
    int team1_score;
    char* team2_name;
    int team2_score;
} game;

typedef struct season {
    game games[3];
} season;
