In C and C++, the size of a pointer depends on the architecture of the system. On a 32-bit system, a pointer typically occupies 4 bytes, while on a 64-bit system, it generally occupies 8 bytes. However, the actual size can vary depending on the compiler and the specific platform being used. To determine the exact size of a pointer in a particular environment, you can use the sizeof operator.

C program pointers to pointers examples?

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;


What is generic pointer in C?

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.


What is an array of pointers to pointers?

A pointer is a variable that stores value of address of a variable. Since a pointer itself is a variable, it is allocated a memory location.Pointer to pointer means a pointer which points to the address of a pointer. In other words a pointer to a pointer has the address of the address of a variable.We can have pointers to int, and pointers to char, and pointers to any structures we've defined, and in fact pointers to any type in C, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that we can have pointers to other pointers. If we're used to thinking about simple pointers, and to keeping clear in our minds the distinction between the pointer itself and what it points to, we should be able to think about pointers to pointers, too, although we'll now have to distinguish between the pointer, what it points to, and what the pointer that it points to points.

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.
