If you’re a computer science student, you’ve probably heard of pointers. Pointers are objects, just like variables or functions, and as such are highly dynamic. But pointers work in a way that might not be so familiar to a programming student. Pointers are references to memory addresses, which are usually only a concern for the compiler/interpreter, and not the programmer. Programmers often don’t concern themselves with the memory address of their objects, but sometimes making a reference to an address is the most convenient way to write your code. On top of that, it’s important that a computer scientist knows how to think like a computer. Let’s get into it – see document below for complete article.
