Define pointer with syntax and example

Example 1: how do pointers work in c programmwiz

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int* pc, c;
   
   c = 22;
   printf("Address of c: %p\n", &c);
   printf("Value of c: %d\n\n", c);  // 22
   
   pc = &c;
   printf("Address of pointer pc: %p\n", pc);
   printf("Content of pointer pc: %d\n\n", *pc); // 22
   
   c = 11;
   printf("Address of pointer pc: %p\n", pc);
   printf("Content of pointer pc: %d\n\n", *pc); // 11
   
   *pc = 2;
   printf("Address of c: %p\n", &c);
   printf("Value of c: %d\n\n", c); // 2
   return 0;
}

Example 2: pointer to an address

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   /* Pointer of integer type, this can hold the
    * address of a integer type variable.
    */
   int *p;

   int var = 10;

   /* Assigning the address of variable var to the pointer
    * p. The p can hold the address of var because var is
    * an integer type variable.
    */
   p= &var;

   printf("Value of variable var is: %d", var);
   printf("\nValue of variable var is: %d", *p);
   printf("\nAddress of variable var is: %p", &var);
   printf("\nAddress of variable var is: %p", p);
   printf("\nAddress of pointer p is: %p", &p);
   return 0;
}
