pointer is depicted by '*' . this is  to  differentiate a pointervariable from normal variable. it will tell the compiler that it is not a normal variable, but it is a pointer variable which is holding the address of another variable.  so use of '*' is only to differentiate a pointer variable from normal variable. i hope it is clear for you know.
