• When you make an array, you are making space for each element
• When you create a pointer, you are making space for 64 bit address
• arrays “decay to pointers”: when you identify an array by name, you are sharing the location of the leading element
• &arr gets an address to the FIRST element — don’t do this, &ptr gets the pointers’ address

Array is a special type that represent a segment of contiguously allocated memory. You can’t reassign an array to be equal to a new array.

Artificial Intelligence is defined as the act of parameter estimation.

Toy example for Linear Regression

• Imagine if we want to predict the price of a choclate bar
• We feed in a bunch of bar weight vs. chocolate price data; that’s the training data
• Then, we come up with a model of the training data
• We then throw away the training data

Therefore, we can think of the model as a COMPRESSION of the training data; estimating parameters.
