03 - Basic Data Types

In video 03 of our series on rediscovering the C programming language, we discuss basic data types such as int, char, and float and how we need to pay attention to the system we are targeting for our binary to run on because it can affect how our data is stored. We also discuss strategies to make a bit easier such as using signed or unsigned variables where appropriate as well as using stdint.h from the standard library. Music was downloaded from mixkit.co and is by Lily J.
