Advantages of pointer in c?

pointer in C have following advantages- 1.Pointer is a very useful concept for creating the important C data structures i.e. linked list, stack, queues and trees, which are very powerful in certain situations. 2.Pointers are very useful when we have to reflect more than one variable change in the calling function after call takes place i.e. though we can not return more than one value from a called function but we can always pass references (pointer variables) to the variables in calling function as parameters to the function.So all the manipulation using these pointer variables will be reflected in called funtion. 3.Pointer provides a lower level view of memory, it adds to our understanding of the things going on in your computer memory.

What is the difference between pointer variable and simple variable What are the advantages of pointer variable?

normal variable stores a value of the given datatype where as the pointer variable stores the address of a variable. for example int n=10; int *p; p=&n; here p is a pointer variable and n is a normal variable.p stores the address of n where as n stores an integer value. *p prints the value of n,p prints the address of n.
