Can an address be assigned to a variable in C?

Question

Is it possible to assign a variable the address you want, in the memory?

I tried to do so but I am getting an error as \"Lvalue required as left operand of assignmen

Answer 1

Not directly. You can do this though : int* i = 7200; .. and then use i (ie. *i = 10) but you will most likely get a crash. This is only meaningful when doing low level development - device drivers, etc... with known memory addreses.
