You do not. A pointer is an opaque value that you do not care what its internal bit value is. You only care that it points to a region of memory that you can do something with. You can scan that region of memory, but not the pointer itself.

Why are header files not required when using far and near pointers?

In C programming, header files are required. It doesn't matter if you are using near pointers, far pointers, both, or neither -- you still need header files. There is no connection between the necessity of header files and the pointers' size.


In C you use the concept of pointers whereas there are no pointers used in JAVA why?

Pointers in C are generally the thing that gives learners the most trouble. When C code is not written correctly with respect to pointer use, the resulting bugs can often be very difficult to find and correct. On the other hand, pointers are absolutely necessary in some cases.The designers of Java wanted to make programming easier and hence avoided adding pointers to the language. Java does have object references which accomplish much of what pointers accomplish albeit in a safer way.


Is C plus plus good for Embedded programming or not?

C and C++ programming is good for embedded programming. However, embedded implies long running, and that means the possibility of memory fragmentation. You will need to spend time working out or acquiring a method of memory management, such as the use of Smart Pointers and Garbage Collection. This is not a trivial task, but it is a necessary task.


Why pointer is callded jewel of c language?

a pointer is a derived data type in c. pointers are undoubtedly one of the most distinct and exciting features of c language.it has added power and flexibility to the language. *pointers are more efficient in handling arrays and tables. *pointer can be used to support dynamic memory management. *pointers reduce length and complexity of programs. *increase the execution speed and thus reduce the program execution time. by following character's real power of c lies in proper use of pointers. pointer is called the jewel of c-language.
