=====data Keyword 1=====
pointer (what is it, declaration of).


 


====Definition====
To put it in simple terms, a pointer is a memory address. The first thing you must do with a pointer, is to declare a pointer variable. 
Set it to point somewhere, and finally manipulate the value that it points to. 

A simple pointer declaration can be:

	int *ip;

The asterisk used means that the "ip", the variable that you are declaring, is not of the "int" type, but a type of "pointer to an int" type.
