Can someone tell me how can I better understand pointers?

Question

I still dont understand them.completely. Usually have some problems when working with them that are solved through brute force, but without knowing exactly what I'm doing

Answer 1

Pointer it is a kind of address. So imagine what pointer is a piece of paper where written a some building address i.e. River Street 2, London. So, you can copy and share this paper but it is no more than just an address which is point to the physical place where building is. So pointer is a variable with memory address where some data exists. Hope my English is good enough to help you:).
