Pointers (cont)

Things to note:
  • all pointers constrained to point to a particular type of object 

    // a potential pointer to any object of type char
char *s;

// a potential pointer to any object of type int
int *p;

  • if pointer p is pointing to an integer variable x
    ⇒   *p can occur in any context that x could
