02. C Programming for IA: Data types, two's complement, fixed point and floating point formats

In this third video in my series on C programming for image analysis (CPIA), I discuss the main data types of C (char, int, float, double) and explain 2's complement. I also discuss declaring variables and give an introduction to functions.
These tutorials are designed for mature students without prior experience in programming, computer science, maths or engineering.
