The use of Pointers

[CorvetteDude427]

I've just come across the pointer variable in a C++ book Im reading. The book shows you how to use them, how to declare them and all that stuff, but doesnt tell you why one might use them. Help/examples on why we could use a pointer variable??

Please and thank you!

This comes up all the time.

Read this sequence of pages on pointers, it'll answer all. It's C, not C++ though. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/c20.htm
