C pointers and the physical address

Question

I\'m just starting C. I have read about pointers in various books/tutorials and I understand the basics. But one thing I haven\'t seen explained is what are the numbers.

Answer 1

It's a memory address, most likely to the current location in your program's stack. Contrary to David's comment, there are times when you'll calculate pointer offsets, but this is only if you have some kind of array that you are processing.
