Program Plan Intro

Pointer:

  • Pointer is a special type of variable to store the address of the memory location.
  • If an asterisk “*” operator is present before the variable, then that variable is referred as pointer variable.
    • It is also called as dereferencing or indirection operator.
  • Pointer is just a type of variable that stores the address of other variables.
  • Using pointers, we can access the address of a variable; the data stored in that variable can be retrieved.

Syntax of pointer variable declaration:

<variable-type> *<variable-name>;

Example for pointer variable declaration:

//definition of pointer variable

int *ptrvar;

Where,

  • int is the variable type.
  • * ptrvar is the pointer variable name.

Note:

  • When the symbol “&” is placed prior the pointer variable, it will hold address of the pointer variable.
  • When the symbol “*” is placed prior the pointer variable, it will hold the value of the pointer variable.
