In the past, I always couldn't understand the knowledge in the chapter of pointer , Learning is very confusing , That's not true , The exam is coming soon , It's got to be full fire , Today at CSDN Blog see a summary of knowledge about pointer , I think it has benefited a lot , I feel a lot !
<> Pointer
Definition of pointer ：
A pointer is a variable , The variable used to hold the address
The type of pointer ：
（1） Basic types ：int ,short,long,float ,double,char
as int *p;// Represents the definition of a pointer , This pointer points to the integer variable , This pointer will hold the address of the integer variable .
**（2） Array pointer ：** Pointer to an array
int （*a）[10];// Indicates that the pointer points to a int The length of the type is 10 Array of
**（3） Function pointer ：** Pointer to a function
void （*a）（）;// Indicates that the pointer points to a function that has no parameters and no return value
A reference to a pointer ： After the pointer reference, the value of the variable corresponding to the address is obtained .
Secondary pointer ： Pointer to the first level pointer address
Operation of pointer ：
（1） Pointer + perhaps - a number , Represents an integer multiple of the memory occupied by the type of the pointer plus or minus this number
as int *p=a;
p=p+2; // stay VC6.0 inside , actually p Yes 2 * 4=8
（2） Pointer minus a pointer , Represents the number of memory units or elements that differ between two pointers , It doesn't make sense to add two pointers
（3） Relational operation , If two pointer variables are defined p and q, And it's all initialized ,
If p==q, Then it means p and q Point to the same address
p>q, Then it means p Point to high address and q Point to low address
And often p and NULL Make a comparison , Used to indicate the current state of a pointer , This is widely used in data structure , It's better to look up the linked list and so on
Relationship between pointer and array ：
Pointers are closely related to arrays , Arrays can be referenced by pointers , Arrays can hold pointers , Arrays can also be accessed by pointers , A pointer can also hold the address of an array
