Write a C Program to Get Address of array using Pointers

What are Pointers?

A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable, i.e., direct address of the memory location. Like any variable or constant, you must declare a pointer before using it to store any variable address.

The general form of a pointer variable declaration is −

• type *var-name;

Here, type is the pointer’s base type; it must be a valid C data type and var-name is the name of the pointer variable.

The asterisk * used to declare a pointer is the same asterisk used for multiplication. However, in this statement the asterisk is being used to designate a variable as a pointer.

The unary or monadic operator & gives the “address of a variable’”.

The indirection or dereference operator * gives the “contents of an object pointed to by a pointer”.

Below is the source code for C Program to Get Address of array using Pointers which is successfully compiled and run on Windows System to produce desired output as shown below :

SOURCE CODE : :

/*  C Program to Get Address of array using Pointers  */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  char multiple[] = "CodezClub";

  char *p = &multiple[0];
  printf("\nThe address of the first array element  : %p \n", p);

  p = multiple;
  printf("\nThe address obtained from the array name: %p\n", p);

  return 0;
}

Output : :

/*  C Program to Get Address of array using Pointers  */

The address of the first array element  : 0060FF02

The address obtained from the array name: 0060FF02

Process returned 0
