Pointers and Output

Parameters
 Pointers
A pointer contains the address of another
memory cell
i.e., it points to another variable

double cost = 100.00;

cost:1024 100.00

double *cost_ptr = &cost;

cost_ptr:2048
 Pointers
A pointer contains the address of another
memory cell
i.e., it points to another variable

double cost = 100.00;

cost:1024 100.00

double *cost_ptr = &cost;

cost_ptr:2048 1024
 Pointers
A pointer contains the address of another
memory cell
i.e., it points to another variable

double cost = 100.00; printf(cost: %lf, cost);

cost:1024 100.00 printf(cost_ptr: %d, cost_ptr);

printf(&cost: %d, &cost);

double *cost_ptr = &cost; printf(&cost_ptr: %d, &cost_ptr);

cost_ptr:2048 1024 printf(*cost_ptr: %lf, *cost_ptr);
