Pointers : A pointer is a variable who's value is address of some other variable i.e. it can be address of some memory location.
<varaible_type> *<name> eg : int *pointer_to_integer
The above example , we have declared a pointer to a variable (pointer_to_integer), the variable stores the address of an integer .
Implementation of Pointer :
Code: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int var = 20; int *p; p = &var; printf("Pointer %d\n",var); printf("Pointer %d\n",&var); // Prints the address of the varaible (var) printf("Pointer %d\n",p); printf("Pointer %d\n",*p); // Prints the value that (p) points to return 0; } ''' Output:''' Pointer 20 Pointer 1809844068 Pointer 1809844068 Pointer 20
