Reading types in C using the right left walk method

Published: 28 June 2004 Publication History

Abstract

We describe a technique for beginning students to read and verbalize a declarator in the C programming language. Once learned, students will be able to easily state the type of an object without hesitation. It is suggested that this technique be taught to students during the first week of an introductory C programming course. Getting students to correctly read and verbalize types hastens their learning of the language and supports necessary discussion of a program's translation and execution environments.
