Can we use two wireless mouse in one computer at same time?

Yes, you can plug two mice into your computer at the same time... however both mice will control the same pointer on screen. At this moment there seems to be no easy way to set the computer to accept two mice each with there own pointer. I did some research on this a week ago.


What is forwarding pointers?

A pointer is a programming tool that allows a value to be referenced. All data is allocated in memory and has a certain address attached to them. When you use a pointer, you are taking a value from an address called the reference. The original data is called the reference, and taking that value using a pointer is called dereferencing. Example using Objective-C: int anInt = 42; (anInt is stored in memory with the value of 42) int *anIntPointer; (this is new datatype that wants to point to a certain address) *anIntPointer = &anInt; (you are taking the pointer and dereferencing it to anInt. anytime you have a pointer [in this case denoted with an asterisk "*"], the reference will be noted with an ampersand "&") Now there are also pointers to objects and structs that use an entirely different method, but same idea, the pointer grabs a referenced data value. This is especially valuable for referencing structures without having to reference every single member variable.

How pointer differs from normal variable?

Usual variable used so called value type mechanism, meaning that if you have passed the variable to a function the variable itself was not passed, only its copy. Which makes value type mechanism safe. The only problem is that you use a lot of memory because a copy of your variable has been created.Pointers allow to avoid creating copies and operate with addresses of variables. It means when you pass your variable to any function, you actually pass only the variable's address. This mechanism is called reference type.Pointers work much faster and allow to use memory more effectively. The only problem is you have to take extra care when you are working with pointers. Using pointers any area of memory including protected by OS can be accessed. Such event will cause "blue screen" (under windows).
