Answer / guest
normal variables carry the specified data where as the
pointer variable carried the address of the specified data,,,,,
eg: if we give int x =10; ptr p=*x;here x is the normal
variable carries 10 and pointer variable is p which carried
address of the integer variable x.

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.

Normal variable is a variable which can hold a value as like
eg. int,float or char,it may be signed or unsigned and take
different memory space as per as their data type.But the
pointer variable is a variable which hold the address of a
another variable,and it is obviously unsigned and take
always 2 byte in memory space.

"Pointer variable holds memory address or physical address
of any variable value means it indirectly points any
vaiable,we can perform all operations +,*,-,and / through
it but normal variable directly points vaiable value"

Answer / mani
Normal variable:memory size of variables depends upon respective datatype; if int it'll take 2byte , char will take 1 byte.
Pointer variable:memory size of pointer variable is constant that is 4byte in gcc compiler irrespective of any datatype.
