    They point at things. Does that help?

    What texts have you studied? What don't you understand of what you have
    read?

      I found Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" invaluable
      for information about pointers, especially Chapter 5.

        To a first approximation pointers are C. They are variables that hold memory
        addresses and thus allow C program direct access to underlying memory. This
        has huge advantages as well as huge disadvantages.

        Any C primer will contain material on pointers, and there is no point
        replicating it here.

          What is this statement to mean?

            C is the language that uses pointers to allow for direct
            memory access.
            So do practically all languages. The variations are in user
            accessibility, usage, visibility, etc.
