d4_Pointers(指针)

 Pointers


     * Pointers are variables

     * Pointers store only address of the memory location.
       they do not store a value.

     * Pointers are declared like :-  int *ptr;

     * Address are always integer datatype , hence all  pointers need only 2 bytes

       int a=10;    //Integer variable
       int *ptr;   // Pointer variable

       ptr= &a;    // address of a stored in ptr

       printf("%d\n",a);  // prints value
       printf("%u\n",&a); // %u used to print address

       printf("%u\n",&ptr);  //65526
