What happens if we use an integer pointer as a member of structure instead of structure pointer?
By declaring an integer pointer you are declaring that any non-zero reference stored in the pointer is guaranteed to be an integer reference. In order to guarantee the reference is actually a structure, the pointer must be declared as such, because casting an integer to a structure can never be regarded as being type-safe.
What else can I help you with?
Why you use float pointer instead of integer pointer?
It depends on what type of data you wish to manipulate.
What is triple 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
What is the effect of various arithmetic operators on a pointers?
Error message, mainly. The following operations are legal: ptr + integer (pointer) ptr - integer (pointer) ptr - ptr (integer)
What is the difference between structure and pointer?
A structure is a collection of primitives or other structures. A pointer is a memory address. Comparison of the two is like comparing bowling balls to cinder blocks. You can say that a structure defines the layout of the data, while a pointer points to data that is a particular structure.
What is pointer to a member in objective c?
It is a pointer that points to a member of a structure.
How can one create a pointer to structure in C?
Create a pointer of the type (pointer to struct) and assign the address of an instance of the structure to your pointer: typedef struct x { /* ... */ }; struct x my_structure; struct x* ptr = &my_structure;
What is the size of integer pointer?
all pointers are 4 bytes in 32 bit system
How do declare function pointer having two integer parameters and returning integer pointers?
// declare a function int* function(int, int); or int* (function)(int, int); // declare a pointer to a function int* (*pointer_to_function)(int, int);
What is the purpose of the dereference operator when used with a pointer variable?
Data type is mandatory in every variable-declaration.Example:int i; -- integerint *pi; -- integer-pointerint ai[10]; -- integer-arrayint *api[10]; -- array of integer-pointersint (*api)[10]; -- pointer to integer-array
Can you make an integer pointer variable to char data?
Of course. But why? int *p = (int *)"string";
Function pointer that will point to a function that takes integer value and return character?
Answerchar (*funcp(int));
Are pointers integers?
A pointer holds a memory address, from 0 to the upper limit of your memory (in 32 bit addressing this is up to 2^32, 64 bit is up to 2^64 bytes). So in math terms, a pointer could be considered a non-negative integer. However this is not the same as the integer type used in C and other languages, which refers to how the data at that memory address (the raw bits) is interpreted by the system. So the expression "int *x;" declares a pointer to an integer, but x is a memory address, not a literal C-style integer. The value pointed to by x, however, will be interpreted as a literal C-style integer. It may be easier to see using a pointer to a char: char character = 'C'; char *pointerToCharacter = character; In this case, character is a standard char variable, and pointerToCharacter is a pointer (which is a memory address) that points to the location in memory of a character.
