The this pointer is used to refer to the object that is foremost in the current scope. It has three primary purposes. First, a programmer uses this to refer to a member variable that has been shadowed by a function argument. Secondly, it is used to obtain a reference to itself, usually for the purpose of passing itself to another function or class. Finally, the this pointer can be used to call alternate constructors of the same object, usually as a means of reusing code and providing various constructors with default arguments.
it is used in operator overloading
insert or delete values both side.so use double pointer
Example: int x; -- integer int *px= &x; -- pointer to integer int **ppx= &px; -- pointer to pointer to integer int ***pppx= &ppx; -- pointer to pointer to pointer to integer
Pointer to Pointer is a double pointer, denoted by (**). Pointer stores the address of the variable and pointer to pointer stores the address of a pointer variable and syntax can be given as int **ptr2ptr;
When a variable is declared as being a pointer to type void it is known as a generic pointer. Since you cannot have a variable of type void, the pointer will not point to any data and therefore cannot be dereferenced. It is still a pointer though, to use it you just have to cast it to another kind of pointer first. Hence the term Generic pointer.
The pointer is non-NULL.
the execution time of programe is fast using the pointer

1. pointer to a constant means you can not change what the pointer points to 2. constant pointer means you can not change the pointer.
Example: int x; -- integer int *px= &x; -- pointer to integer int **ppx= &px; -- pointer to pointer to integer int ***pppx= &ppx; -- pointer to pointer to pointer to integer
A pointer only holds an address information (location) in the memory. if a pointer holds points another pointer then it is a pointer to an other pointer. Pointer holds an address in the memory so in that address there is an other location information that shows another location.
pointer is the variable that holds the address of another variable
Double pointer is a pointer to a pointer. So you can work with the double pointer as you work with a single one.Or you might mean 'pointer to double', eg:void clear_double (double *dp){*dp = 0;}
Double (**) is used to denote the double pointer. As we know the pointer stores the address of variable, Double pointer stores the address of any pointer variable. Declaration : int **ptr2Ptr;
Void pointer can hold the address of any kind of pointer. But we can't operate on void pointer
