How do I cast a pointer to an int

Question

I\'m trying to store the value of an address in a non pointer int variable, when I try to convert it I get the compile error \"invalid conversion from \'int*\' to \'int\'\" this

Answer 1

You can do this:

int a_variable = 0;

int* ptr = &a_variable;

size_t ptrValue = reinterpret_cast(ptr);
