A pointer is a derived data type that refers to another data variable by storing the variable's memory address rather than data.

A pointer is a variable that holds the address to another variable. Let's say I'm looking for Mr A (a variable), and Mr A stored his address in a book (the pointer), I can always refer to the book when ever I'm looking for Mr A or his address.

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. if you know more about this visit http://pythonandmltrainingcourses.com/best-summer-training-in-noida/
