CSIS 3700 Memory Lab Visualizer

This interactive memory visualizer helps you understand C++ memory management concepts, including stack, heap, pointers, and dynamic memory allocation.

Features

• Step-by-step execution: Execute code line by line and observe memory state changes
• Visual representation: Intuitive display of stack and heap memory allocations
• Multiple scenarios: 8 different scenarios covering from basic variables to complex pointer operations
• Interactive controls: Support for forward, backward, and reset operations

How to Use

1. Select different program scenarios (Q1-Q8)
2. Use the “Step” button to execute code line by line
3. Observe memory changes in stack and heap
4. Use keyboard shortcuts: ←/→ to control steps, 1-8 to switch programs

Program Scenarios

• Q1: Local variables (stack)
• Q2: new/delete (heap integer)
• Q3: new[] array
• Q4: new Point object
• Q5A: Ten independent point objects
• Q5B: Ten pointers pointing to the same object
• Q6: Delete and dangling pointers (aliases)
• Q7: Pointer parameters (pass-by-value)
• Q8: int*& allocation (change caller pointer)
