I was reading C Primer Plus and came across the following lines that I couldn't understand-
> Pointers? What are they? Basically, a pointer is a variable (or, more
> generally, a data object)whose value is a memory address.
Just for reference,I came across these lines earlier-
> Consider an assignment statement. Its purpose is to store a value at a
> memory location. Data object is a general term for a region of data
> storage that can be used to hold values. The C standard uses just the
> term object for this concept. One way to identify an object is by
> using the name of a variable.
I tried googleing but couldn't find anything.These basic terminologies are confusing me so please help me understand these terms.
