• Stack Explanations: These are slideshows designed to illuminate how the program stack, the heap, function call frames, and automatic variables actually work in C++ (and many other languages). Once you see how functions call each other (starting with the OS's call to main()) through the stack, it is easier to grapple with the concepts of function parameters and automatic variable scope.

  You won't be tested on these examples, they are designed to help you better understand what you will be tested on! If you plan on being a CS major or minor, you could do a lot worse than understanding these examples thoroughly.

  There is a How to Read These Slides section in the first link, you should start there.
  

  • A simple stack example
  • auto variables
  • Call by value
  • Call by reference
  • Global variables
  • GARBAGE != RANDOM

  We don't cover recursive functions and the static qualifier for automatic variables, but if you're a CS major or minor, now is the time to start learning about them!

  • static variables
  • Recursive function calls
