Pointer in C: Presented by Rana Das (B.Tech Cse) EN NO.A2345921028

A pointer in C is a variable that stores the address of another variable and is used for dynamic memory allocation. Pointers must be declared with a specific data type and initialized with the address of a variable of the same type using the address operator '&'. An example program demonstrates pointer declaration, initialization, and how to access the value of a variable using a pointer.

POINTER

• Pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable. A pointer


in c is used to allocate memory dynamically at run time. The pointer
variable might be belonging to any of the data type such as int, float,
char, double, short etc.

Pointer syntax:
data_type*var_name;
Example:
int*p; char*p;
DECLARING POINTER VARIABLE

• Pointers variables contain addresses that belong to a separate


data type, they must be declared as pointers before we use
them. The declaration of a pointer variable takes the following

data_type*pt_name;
INITIALIZATION OF POINTER
VARIABLE

Pointer initialization is the process of assigning address of a variable to pointer


variable. Pointer variable contains address of variable of same data type. In C
address operator & is used to determined the address of a variable. The & address
of the variable.
EXAMPLE:
int a = 10 ;
int*ptr, //pointer declaration
ptr=&a; //pointer initialization
or
Int*ptr=&a; //initialization and declaration together
EXAMPLE PROGRAM

#include<stdio.h>
Int main()
Output:
{
Int *ptr, q; //declaration 50
q=50;
ptr = &q; //initialization
printf(“%d”, *ptr); //display q’s value using ptr variable
printf(“%d”, *ptr);
return 0
}
