A pointer however, is a variable that stores the memory address as its value.A pointer variable points to a data type (like int or string) of the same type, and is created with the * operator. The address of the variable you're working with is assigned to the pointer:Create a pointer variable with the name ptr, that points to a string variable, by using the asterisk sign * (string* ptr). Note that the type of the pointer has to match the type of the variable you're working with.Use the & operator to store the memory address of the variable called food, and assign it to the pointer.Now, ptr holds the value of food's memory address.
