Everything Essential you need to know about pointers

Hey Developers!

Do you know what is one of the most important things to learn in low-level programming?

It's Pointers.

I remember trying to wrap my head around it with no luck. So, I wrote an article for it. The article goes into the details and clears some common confusion, comment below for the link.

Here Are Some Key Points -

• Pointer provides a way to access a variable indirectly.

• Pointer allows you to manage your memory.

• Use int * to declare a pointer and * to dereference it.

• To declare multiple pointers in the same line use * before each one of them
  Use & to get the address of a variable.

*Arrays, strings, and other multi-value types do not require '&' to get the address.

*Dereferencing a pointer with no value or a null pointer results in a segmentation fault.

*The memory address can be utilized to permanently alter the value of a variable, so be careful.
