Pointers
(Chapter 6)

1. Syntax
#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
int age = 22;
int *ptr = &age;
int _age = *ptr;
printf("%d\n", _age);

//address
printf("%p\n", &age);
printf("%p\n", ptr);
printf("%p\n", &ptr);

//data
printf("%d\n", age);
printf("%d\n", *ptr);
printf("%d\n", *(&age));
return 0;
}

2. Pointers in Function call


# include <stdio.h>

void square(int n);


void _square(int* n);

int main() {
int number = 4;

//call by value
square(number);
printf("n is : %d\n", number);

//call by reference
_square(&number);
printf("n is : %d\n", number);
return 0;
}

void square(int n) {
n = n * n;
printf("square is : %d\n", n);
}

void _square(int* n) {
*n = *n * *n;
printf("square is : %d\n", *n);
}

3. Swap 2 numbers
# include <stdio.h>

void swap(int a, int b);


void _swap(int* a, int *b);

int main() {
int x = 3, y = 5;

//call by value
swap(x, y);
printf("x = %d & y = %d\n", x, y);

//call by reference
_swap(&x, &y);
printf("x = %d & y = %d\n", x, y);
return 0;
}

void swap(int a, int b) {


int t = a;
a = b;
b = a;
}

void _swap(int* a, int* b) {


int t = *a;
*a = *b;
*b = *a;
}
