    Experiment-8 : Pointers

    EXPERIMENT-8A

    Aim: To demonstrate the pointer declaration and its use.

    Pointers :
    - A pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable. Unlike other variables
    that hold values of a certain type, pointer holds the address of a variable. For example,
    an integer variable holds (or you can say stores) an integer value, however an integer
    pointer holds the address of a integer variable.
    - Pointers are symbolic representation of addresses.

    Syntax:
    datatype *var_name;

    int *ptr; //ptr can point to an address which holds int data.

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


    contains the address of a variable of the same data type. In C language address operator ‘&’ is
    used to determine the address of a variable. The ‘&’ (immediately preceding a variable name)
    returns the address of the variable associated with it.

    //C program to declare & use of pointer variable


    #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
    int b=50; //variable declaration
    int *p; //pointer variable declaration
    p = &b; //store address of variable b in pointer p

    printf("Address of variable b stored in pointer is %u\n", p);


    printf("\nAccessing value of variable b using pointer is %u\n", *p);
    return 0;
    }

    Output:

    Address of variable b stored in pointer is 3272240676

    Accessing value of variable b using pointer is 50

    Conclusion: Thus, the pointer declaration and its use is studied.

    EXPERIMENT-8B

    Aim: To demonstrate the implementation of pointer on array.


    Array of pointers
    An array of pointers is an indexed set of variables, where the variables are pointers
    (referencing a location in memory). An array of pointers is useful to allow us to
    numerically index a large set of variables.

    //C program to access array elements using pointer.


    #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
    int i;
    int num[] = {24, 34, 12, 44, 56, 17}; // declare & initialize array
    int *pnum; //declare pointer
    pnum = num; //assigning address of array to pointer

    printf("Accessing values of array num using pointer pnum \n");


    for (i=0; i < 6; i++)
    {
    printf("%d\n", *pnum);
    pnum++; //incrementing pointer to next location
    }
    return 0;
    }

    Output :
    Accessing values of Array num using pointer pnum.
    24
    34
    12
    44
    56
    17

    Conclusion: Thus, implementation of pointer on array is studied.
