C++ pointers explained easy 👈

[@BroCodez]

#include
int main() {
// pointers = variable that stores a memory address of another variable
// sometimes it's easier to work with an address
// & address-of operator
// * dereference operator
std::string name = "Bro";
int age = 21;
std::string freePizzas[5] = {"pizza1", "pizza2", "pizza3", "pizza4", "pizza5"};

std::string *pName = &name;
int *pAge = &age;
std::string *pFreePizzas = freePizzas;
std::cout

[@tarsow7741]

if its not clear to everyone, arrays are just pointers, which point to the first element in the list, for example: arr[i] is the same as *(arr + i), its also one of the reasons you can write i[arr] in C++ and it will give the same output as arr[i], there is also other things that are possible with arrays/pointers:
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int size = 3;
int array[size] = {10, 5, 3, 1, -2, -4, -7};
std::cout

[@ariqfakhrizaki3639]

if arrays is already an address why would i ever use pointer for that?

[@Pranav-nx4cm]

int diddy = 1000;
int *pDiddy = &diddy;

[@danji3376]

address of operator: pDiddy Party

[@wlsedlacek]

int pointer = 100;
int *pPointer = &pointer

If I want to locate the pizza3 in the array ,how should I use my pointer?

[@game-op8up]

Instead of this:
std::cout

[@dazai826]

@@game-op8up yeah, thats why you use int pointers not string pointers. infact myarray[index] is defined in C/C++ to be equivalent to *(myarray + index), thats why while accessing first element by using myarray[0], like in the video, is equivalent to *(myarray + 0) = *(myarray) = *myarray.

bro you are so amazing you solved my biggest problem
of pointers love U😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Bro has the best videos ngel. W bro❤❤👍

[@animationaryz]

Why it didn't give the error in
string *pname =&name;
int *pAge =&age;
But gives the error in
string *freepizzas =&freepizzas
Why can't we use "&" in this but can use in those above

[@ahmed7aleem943]

Look let's imagine that the int and string are taking 1 space in memory so when I want to get them I call the address of this space but in array you have 5 spaces each one is separated just they are in like a container named array and this array addressed by the first value so when you want to point a pointer on array you cannot make a pointer point to all those spaces
hope you got it

[@Mellows.]

why does the output to your freepizzas array and the pointer to said array differs when arrays are already pointers?
i tried it myself and for me it outputs the same thing

[@AjkRL]

float pointy = 0.34;
float *pPointy = &pointy;
cout

[@MooseShower]

Thank you! It looks like I just kept forgetting the & which is why my code never worked for my homework

[@grimquokka9843]

why don't you use namespace std : (

[@Pascal-1]

I'm watching the 6 hours c++ tutorial he made, and there he says that he doesn't like doing that

[@Cinarbayramic]

I think it was considered bad practice cuz other libraries might have functions with the same name

[@StampleD2147AI]

It's because it increases the chance for a namespace collision.

[@HiboMoh]

He already use :: std if u use (::std) you don’t need using namespace std:

[@baconheadhair6938]

@@HiboMohits an ease of use thing not a need thing. if you put use namespace std or define std functions u can just say string instead of std::string

why arrays are already addresses?
