Explanation

Iterates through string characters using pointer increments until null termination.

Starter Code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>

int main() {
    std::string s;
    if (std::cin >> s) {
        const char *ptr = s.c_str();
        // Write your code here using pointer traversal
    }
    return 0;
}

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
