This last hour watching this video was the best hour of education I had in years ! Although I previously knew about pointers, I didn't miss a second.

This lecture makes me unbelievably happy. Richard's explanation of pointers is simply brilliant. He then performs some hilarious magic tricks and even rewards his students with 256 Mars bars. This is amazing!

A simple explanation of pointers. int* creates a pointer variable which can store the address of another integer. if we say int* a, a is now ready store the address of int b. To get the address of variable b, we say &b. So now we can say a = &b; . We should also remember that a also has an address and can be referred to by saying &a. *a returns the value stored at the address stored in a. That is b. Lol!
@Ashokgadeking

I have not touched java in a while. a should return the address and *a should give the value stored at that address if my understanding of pointers is still intact.

14:53 This example is enlightening. Thinking about it will teach you a bit about how C compilers usually work. They usually have a notion of 'lvalues' (expressions that can appear on the left hand side of the assignment operator) and 'rvalues' (expressions that can't). In his example (&&&***x), we'd have to assume that x is at least an n-fold pointer (so that we can dereference it at least three times). We can then apply the reference (&) operator once to get the address of this value, but the second use of & is where it already goes wrong. At that point, we're trying to get the address of an rvalue - something that doesn't live at a memory address, but is just an expression floating around ready to be used. If you try it in C, it won't even compile. He suggests trying the other way around (***&&&x), but this has the same problem at the second use of &. One way to do something that WILL work is to try declaring x and then successively declaring pointers to x, pointers to this pointer, and so on. If you do this, you can successfully dereference the final pointer three times to get back x. TLDR: any occurrence of '&&' is going to fail.

Exactly so int *i; makes more sense than int* i; the asterisk just before the variable clarifies that it is a pointer and not just another int.
