A beginner-friendly introduction to pointers in C, covering the fundamental concepts of memory addresses, pointer declaration, the address-of operator (&), dereferencing with *, and passing pointers to functions. Uses clear analogies (home addresses) and step-by-step code examples to explain how pointers allow functions to modify variables indirectly. Also briefly covers NULL pointers and their use with malloc.
