	name_ptr=&name;
	age_ptr=&age;
	add_ptr=&add;
	}
	if(choice==2){
	clrscr();
	gotoxy(8,4);
	printf("[2] Edit");
	gotoxy(8,6);
	printf("Maintenance");

	printf("Age:");
	gotoxy(8,10);
	printf("Address:");
	name1=*name_ptr;
	gotoxy(15,6);printf("%s",name1);
	age1=*age_ptr;
	gotoxy(15,8);printf("%d",age1);
	add1=*add_ptr;
	gotoxy(15,10);printf("%s",add1);
	}
	if(choice==4){
	clrscr();
	gotoxy(8,4);
	printf("[4] Exit");

	getch();
	}

Drop "Turbo C". Seriously, I don't know who is feeding you guys this crap, but anyone starting programming between India and Japan is using this antiquity. That thing was created when computers were slower than my current phone. Whoever taught you to use it is probably in his 60s. You are lucky you weren't taught punch cards.

Code::Blocks is good and free. Microsoft Visual Studio Express is good and free. There are others around. Use a compiler from this millenium. Please.

As for pointers: you don't need any here. Concentrate on the useful things:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
	char name[100];
	
    printf("Enter your name:");
	scanf("%s", name );
	printf("\nThe name you entered was %s\n", name);
	    
	return 0;
}

also since this is the C++ forum, you should be using iostream and cin/cout instead of stdio functions, unless you are actually using C, in which case you should have posted on the C forum, because C is a very different language from C++.
