Thread: Memory address?

    Memory address?

    I have noticed that when I try to print a memory address to the screen I just get jibberish. But when ever I write the address to a text file it seems to be a valid address. Why does it not show up on the screen but yet it shows in the file?

    How are you printing it?
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using std::cout;
    using std::endl;
    
    int main(void)
    {
      int i;
      int *p = &i;
      cout <<"p is pointing to " <<p <<endl;  
      p++;
      cout <<"p is now pointing to " <<p <<endl;  
      return(0);
    }
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
