How will you define pointer?

Write a progam that illustrate how pointer variable change the value of
normal variable.
In programming, a pointer is a variable that holds the memory address of another variable. Pointers
are commonly used in programming to access and manipulate data stored in memory.

Here's an example program in C that illustrates how a pointer variable can change the value of a
normal variable:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main( ) {
int x = 5; // declare and initialize a normal variable x with value 5
int *p; // declare a pointer variable p that can point to an integer

p = &x; // assign the address of x to pointer p

printf("Value of x before changing through pointer: %d\n", x);
*p = 10; // change the value of x through the pointer p
printf("Value of x after changing through pointer: %d\n", x);
return 0;
}

Here's the C code to compute the sum of the series 1+x/1! + x2/2! + x3/3! + …… + xn/N!:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int n, i;
float x, sum = 1.0, term = 1.0;

printf("Enter the value of x: ");

scanf("%f", &x);

printf("Enter the value of n: ");

scanf("%d", &n);

for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)

{
term *= x / i;
sum += term;
}
printf("Sum of the series = %f", sum);
return 0;
}
/*
* C Program to Find find Sum of the Series 1/1! + 2/2! + 3/3! + ……1/N!
*/
#include <stdio.h>
 
double sumseries(double);
 
main()
{
double number,sum;
printf("\n Enter the value: ");
scanf("%lf", &number);
sum = sumseries(number);
printf("\n Sum of the above series = %lf ", sum);
}
 
double sumseries(double m)
{
double sum2 = 0, f = 1, i;
for (i = 1; i <= m; i++)
{
f = f * i;
sum2 = sum2 +(i / f);
}
return(sum2);
}
