Pointers

[MrGuvnaUK]

Hi All.

I have been reading a bit about pointers, from an article on this site as it happens. Im a tad bit confused.

How do assign a memory address to a variable? I have tried:

int test = 483;
memadd = &test;

Now the question is, can i do this and what type would i declare it as?

Dont worry i solved it. If i read further down the page it explains it.

Correct me if im wrong but the you must declare the type of the pointer to the type of value held at that address.

int test = 483;
int mem = &test;

std::cout >> mem;
