How many type of pointer in c?
A pointer is a pointer to something else. One way to look at it is that there is only one pointer type - an address to something else. Another way to look at it is to see how many different types there are, such as int, char, float, struct, double, etc. and to realize that you can build a pointer to any of them, as well as a pointer to a pointer to any of them, etc., etc., etc. Bottom line, is there are an unlimited number of types of pointers.
What is triple pointer?
Example: int x; -- integer int *px= &x; -- pointer to integer int **ppx= &px; -- pointer to pointer to integer int ***pppx= &ppx; -- pointer to pointer to pointer to integer
What is an array of pointers to pointers?
A pointer is a variable that stores value of address of a variable. Since a pointer itself is a variable, it is allocated a memory location.Pointer to pointer means a pointer which points to the address of a pointer. In other words a pointer to a pointer has the address of the address of a variable.We can have pointers to int, and pointers to char, and pointers to any structures we've defined, and in fact pointers to any type in C, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that we can have pointers to other pointers. If we're used to thinking about simple pointers, and to keeping clear in our minds the distinction between the pointer itself and what it points to, we should be able to think about pointers to pointers, too, although we'll now have to distinguish between the pointer, what it points to, and what the pointer that it points to points.
C program pointers to pointers examples?
Pointer to Pointer is a double pointer, denoted by (**). Pointer stores the address of the variable and pointer to pointer stores the address of a pointer variable and syntax can be given as int **ptr2ptr;
What is generic pointer in C?
When a variable is declared as being a pointer to type void it is known as a generic pointer. Since you cannot have a variable of type void, the pointer will not point to any data and therefore cannot be dereferenced. It is still a pointer though, to use it you just have to cast it to another kind of pointer first. Hence the term Generic pointer.
