Pointers is very good for such of things like arrays Because pointers is the main idea of dynamic arrays, linked lists, aliasing

Seeing that you have completed C++ course I suggest you to review chapter about pointer.

Well, thanks for your suggestion. I will be happy enough if you explain it to me instead of suggesting something.

I assume you are a relative beginner....so.... this is a basic swap routine that might help you understand "pass-by-value" and "pass-by-reference" in "C". Just to add......understanding pointers is a "must", particularly in "C" programming. https://code.sololearn.com/c7PThMcOzXU7/#c
