unsigned int pointer

Okay, so an unsigned int takes up 4 bytes in most machines (in mine it does).

Now if I do this:

Code:

---

cout << &anUnsignedInt << endl;

---

I'll get its address right? What will that address point to? The first byte of the unsigned int or the whole unsigned integer?

First byte (the byte with lowest address). Which may be either the most significant byte or the least significant byte, depending on endianess.

Kudos to you buddy, thanks

There is no difference between the address of the first byte and the address of the whole integer. An address is an address, the rest is up to interpretation.
