pointer object in c++ code example
Example 1: c++ pointers
#include
using namespace std;
int main () {
int var = 20; // actual variable declaration.
int *ip; // pointer variable
ip = &var; // store address of var in pointer variable
cout << "Value of var variable: ";
cout << var << endl; //Prints "20"
// print the address stored in ip pointer variable
cout << "Address stored in ip variable: ";
cout << ip << endl; //Prints "b7f8yufs78fds"
// access the value at the address available in pointer
cout << "Value of *ip variable: ";
cout << *ip << endl; //Prints "20"
return 0;
}
Example 2: what is this pointer in c++
Every object in C++ has access to its own address through an important pointer called this pointer.
The this pointer is an implicit parameter to all member functions.
Therefore, inside a member function,
this may be used to refer to the invoking object.
Friend functions do not have a this pointer,
because friends are not members of a class.
Only member functions have a this pointer.
Example 3: c++ pointers
// my first pointer
#include
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int firstvalue, secondvalue;
int * mypointer; //creates pointer variable of type int
mypointer = &firstvalue;
*mypointer = 10;
mypointer = &secondvalue;
*mypointer = 20;
cout << "firstvalue is " << firstvalue << '\n'; //firstvalue is 10
cout << "secondvalue is " << secondvalue << '\n'; //secondvalue is 20
return 0;
