Lec 01-04
Foundations
C memory layout, pointers, casts, and generic pointer techniques.
Stanford Engineering Everywhere notes
CS107: Programming Paradigms
Study C, C++, memory, assembly, and concurrency through a focused set of notes, diagrams, examples, and a reproducible Docker environment.
18 lecture notes
9 buildable examples
23 handouts
Course map
A path from bytes to threads
The material moves from representation and pointers into generic data structures, low-level machine behavior, and finally concurrent programs.
Lec 05-08
Data and Memory
Generic stacks, allocation strategies, stack frames, and heap behavior.
Lec 09-14
Machine Model
Assembly, activation records, preprocessing, compiling, and linking.
Lec 15-18
Concurrency
Threads, semaphores, critical regions, and coordination patterns.

01
Programming Paradigms
Procedure, object-oriented, functional, and concurrent styles.
02
C Programming
Binary representation, integer behavior, floats, and casts.

C Pointer
Pointers, arrays, structs, offsets, and pointer-based swap.
04
Generic Pointer
Void pointers, callbacks, generic swap, search, and sorting.
05-07
Generic Data Structure
Build a reusable stack and reason through generic operations.
08
Stack and Heap
Allocation internals, stack frames, heap managers, and fragments.
09
Assembly Language
Instructions, registers, branches, arrays, and low-level casts.
10
Activation Records
Function frames, saved PC, return values, and recursion.
11
C++ References and Classes
References, classes, methods, this pointers, and static members.
12
Preprocessing
Macros, include rules, header guards, and preprocessing stages.
13
Compiling and Linking
Object files, libraries, runtime crashes, and buffer overflow.
14
More Assembly
Printf, structs, process switching, and virtual address spaces.
15
Ticket Agent
Threads, scheduling, shared resources, semaphores, and deadlock.
16
Semaphore Patterns
Semaphores as locks, ring buffers, and coordination primitives.
17
Dining Philosophers
Deadlock avoidance, busy waiting, and multi-threaded downloads.
18
Ice Cream Store Simulation
A larger concurrency simulation with managers, clerks, and cashiers.
