Thread: This Program may help you to understand pointer

It's fine, I'd just add some empty lines for readability. Try to organize the code in blocks, it's easier to comprehend that way. Like, for example:

Code:

/* this program demonstrates the use of a pointer the variables x and y
are printed then the pointer gets the address where each are stored. It prints
that addresses. The pointer is then refererenced by *pname and gets the value
of each variable through the pointer  */
 
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int x = 3;   //declare and initialize the variables
    int y = 7;
    int *pname;  //declare a pointer

    cout << x << endl; //prints 3 the value held in x
    pname = &x;        //the pointer gets address where x is stored

    cout << pname << endl;   // print the address where x is stored
    cout << * pname << endl; //prints the value held in x

    cout << y << endl; //prints 7 the value held in y
    pname = &y;        //pointer gets address where y is stored

    cout << pname << endl;  //prints the address where y is stored
    cout << *pname << endl; //prints the value held in y

    return 0;
}
