    Checking to which address pointer points

    Hello,

    is it possible to check the address a pointer points to? I am writing a program where a user can enter an address in hex format and I have multiple pointers in my program pointing to different addresses. Now I want to check if one of them points to the address provided by the user. Is this possible? If so, how?

    Sure, you can simpy use the == operator...
    Code:
    int z;
    int *A;
    int *B;
     
    A = &z
    B = &z
    
    if (A == B)
      puts("I nearly plotzed!");
