Question 1

What does the volatile keyword do in C?

  • Prevents variable optimization by the compiler
  • Makes a variable read-only
  • Defines a constant variable

💡 Hint: Think about how hardware influences variable behavior.

Question 2

True or False: Pointers can be used to manipulate hardware registers directly.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how direct access works in C.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Write a C function that uses pointers to update a specific bit in a status register. Explain the importance of using the volatile keyword in this context.

💡 Hint: Consider how hardware may change the register value while it's being processed.

Question 2

Design a struct to represent a multi-sensor device, including at least three sensor types. How would you initialize and read values from this struct in your code?

💡 Hint: Think about how you would capture readings from different sensors.
