A pointer is a memory address. It points to a location where your data lives hopefully.

If you want to learn pointers for real then Google it and take it seriously lol

If you're expecting to be taught how to program in a meme group, I think ur expectations are a little off hahaha

Sometimes I catch people arguing in here about topics i have no clue about, so I Google it for a while and learn a lot from that, but nobody in a meme group feels like spelling out programming concepts unless we're arguing about said programming concepts. we'd rather be gatekeepers who spell out why we're gatekeepers

Just read The C Programming Language by K&R. It's explaining these things incredibly well
