Reply:pointer-it is a variable which stores the address of the that variable to which it points.


for eg-int*j


j=%26amp;a;


now when you print j it wiil show you the address of a


and when you print *j it will show you the value of a.





arrays -the are used to store various values of same data type under common variable name.





macro-you can type a name in a program and define it above void main.during compilation where ever the name ccurs the definition is placed tis is macro.





what i would suggest you isif u live in india then you buy yashavant kanetkar(let us c) if you are a bigenner.





if you want to form strong basis in pointers you should go for-
