Arrays.

 Declare the variable which is not a pointer in assignment = to dereferenced variable BEFORE the
ACTUAL pointer = to the variable where it will get its value from.
ptr = &num1;

*ptr = num1;

 Pointers can replace the content of a chosen variable as long as the actual pointer is set to
another value;

int num = 1 = 250, num 2 = 50;

ptr = &num1;
*ptr = 1250;

num1 would print 1250, num 2 would print 50.

 You can use pointers as a substitute of accessing, modifying arrays.

int age[] = {17, 23,};

*age;

 In order to use a pointer in an array and modify the data inside it using a for loop: follow the
syntax:
*(array_Name + identifier);
