title: Pointers
---
# Pointers in C
By now you should be aware that C is a low-level language, and nothing shows that better than pointers. Pointers are variables that get you the variable value by "pointing" to a memory location rather than storing the value of the variable itself. This allows for some handy tricks, and is also what gives us access to arrays and file handling, among other things.
By now you should be aware that C is a low-level language, and nothing shows that better than pointers. Pointers are variables that get you the variable value by "pointing" to a memory location rather than storing the value of the variable itself. Pointers are actually the values of memory adress in hex, like adresses of your own house, i.e. pointer would be the address of your house while the value of which pointers points to would be the house itself. This allows for some handy tricks, and is also what gives us access to arrays and file handling, among other things.
