Why Is C SO Dangerous? #programming #coding #lowcode

if you want to make a girl like you no thank you now the reason that c is an unsafe language is because you can do things like this the integer array has 496 bytes allocated to it but I can index into and set the 7,000th byte in that array and then also access that memory and the crazy part is that the GCC compiler doesn't care I can literally do GCC Taco bad bad. C the program doesn't care and it just creates a crashing State now obviously you're probably thinking I know you were I was too you know why would I ever code like this I would never select the 7,000th element well what if for example we gave the power to the user to do this over the Internet index I come in from the network that equals 7,000 and then we set array of I equal to some value this is how the majority of all memory corruption bugs happen you have an array you have an access or a read outside of that array and C has no way to check it subscribe for more tips
