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?

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.


Can pointer point itself?

What is pointer to a structure?

A pointer is a variable that holds address information. For example, in C++, say you have a Car class and another class that can access Car. Then, declaring Car *car1 =new Car() creates a pointer to a Car object.. The variable "car1" holds an address location.
