    What is the output of the following code statements? The compiler saves the first integer at the memory location 4062. Integer is one byte long.

    integer a

    pointer b

    a = 20

    b = &a

    print *b

  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : C

    Explanation:- 

    int main( ) {

    int a = 20;

    int *b = &a;

    printf ( "%d" , *b );          // 20

    return 0;

    }

    We know that pointer variable b stores the address of normal integer variable a. It means the value of pointer variable b ( address of a ). So, in the pointer, we access any value through the * (strick) operator/symbol.

    Given the print *b, the compiler shows the output 20 because b store the address of a. * operator access the value of that address so, display the output 20.

    Important Points Pointer:- pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable. it is a dynamic variable pointer variable that has no own memory.

    Value at Address ( * ) operator:- The * operator is also known as value at address operator.
