I love problem solving and tinkering in all areas from software development to electronics and hardware, game design to fixing my car.

Currently working on :

My favorite song:

The asterisk symbol when you declare a pointer in C++ should be placed next to the type, not the variable name. For example, int* ptr; is correct, while int *ptr; is not.
