what is the difference between normal variables and pointer variables................

Answer / guest

normal variables carry the specified data where as the
pointer variable carried the address of the specified data,,,,,

variable carries 10 and pointer variable is p which carried
address of the integer variable x.

what is the difference between normal variables and pointer variables................

Answer / sree

normal variable stores a value of the given datatype where
as the pointer variable stores the address of a variable.
for example
int n=10;
int *p;
p=&n;
here p is a pointer variable and n is a normal
variable.p stores the address of n where as n stores an
integer value.
*p prints the value of n,p prints the address
of n.
