Answer / prakash dasari
pointer is also like an ordinary variable which can hold
some data. But the difference is it holds the memory
address where that particular variable is stored.
so pointer is a memory varible which holds the valid
address of similar type. that is integer pointer have to
use to hold the address of the integer variable to avoid
the unexpected results. so to store the float varible data
use float pointer only for datasafe.
