Memory management is a crucial topic in software development, and that’s because it deals with how your program stores and retrieves data. We don’t have unlimited storage space or unlimited time, so we need to be careful about how we handle these things in our programs to ensure they run optimally and efficiently.

When I first learned about memory management, I thought it was intimidating because there were a lot of concepts, phrases, and terms that felt abstract. It’s not always clear how these concepts directly affect your program. As a result, when you’re working on your programming projects, it can be easy to forget these concepts and how they apply.

However, over the years, I’ve learned that having a strong foundation in memory management helps you make better design decisions and develop good coding practices.

So in this video, I’ll give a brief overview of memory management and show you some examples to help make these abstract concepts more concrete.

Thank you for watching, and happy coding! 💻
