Pointers Explained.

[Azayaka]

I'm probably like most people who had issues with pointers when they were just starting to learn to program. I want to share with everyone a very good resource for explaining pointers. This is potentially one of the best explanations of pointers that I have ever found.

This is a link to a .edu website and may be blocked in your region, it shouldn't be but there's that possibility.

Introduction

can you explain this while using pointers?

 

[MuDZaHeDiN]

To point to something graphically or in real life, an arrow is often used, i.e. it points to something. If you see an arrow (->) in the code, then you know that this is an access via the pointer
