    Post void general pointers

    Question:

    If I have a void pointer storing the address of an integer, how would I be able to print that integer from the void pointer?

    example:

    Code:
    void main()
    {
    	void *pntr;
    	int x = 7;
    	pntr= &x;
    	printf("%i", ????);
    
    }
    I want to print the 7 using the void pointer, NOT using x anymore. All I can do is get pntr to print the address of x in integer form, but that's the furthest I can get... can anyone else help?

    printf("%i", *(int*)pntr);
