A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable, allowing for direct manipulation of memory. It enables efficient access and modification of data structures, such as arrays and linked lists, by referencing their locations in memory rather than their values. Pointers are commonly used in programming languages like C and C++ for dynamic memory management and to enhance performance.
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.
yea that's why its called the point FINGER
constant pointer and character 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 (**) 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;
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;}
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;
Void pointer can hold the address of any kind of pointer. But we can't operate on void pointer
