Explanation:

Before you get into the concept of pointers, let's first get familiar with address in C.

If you have a variable var in your program, &var will give you its address in the memory, where & is commonly called the reference operator.

You must have seen this notation while using scanf() function. It was used in the function to store the user inputted value in the address of var.

scanf("%d", &var);
