Pointer is a variable which contains the address of the other variable.

Integer pointer contains the address of the integer variable, so as float and character respectively.

pointer : pointer is a derived data type which holds addresses as its value. it points to value at it's address.

for ex:

int *p;

does not mean p type is integer. p can't be int. p is just a pointer variable. the above declaration means p is a pointer to an integer location.

*p means value at location p.

p means value of p.

&p means address of p.
