1 Pointers CSE 2451
2 Language comparison C has pointers Java has references C++ has pointers and references
3 Pointers Values of variables are stored in memory, at a particular location A location is identified and referenced with an address Analogous to identifying a house s location via an address Pointer address Address vs. contents Pointer variable Value holds the address of a memory location
4 Pointers and Addresses A byte-addressable machine has consecutively numbered or addressed memory cells (bytes) which may be manipulated individually or in contiguous groups. char short int/long ip1 ip2 char * ip1; double double * ip2;
5 Pointers and Addresses a pointer array holding addresses of characters; char * a[2]; A pointer array holding addresses of integers; int * b[2];
6 Pointer syntax * is used in the declaration of a pointer int *p -> pointer to an integer & (unary operator) gives the address of an object p = &c means the address of c is assigned to the variable p
7 Pointer syntax * (unary operator) is a dereferencing operator when applied to pointers Access the variable the pointer points to * in front of a pointer variable means get the value at that address i.e. contents of int a = *p Get the value at the address designated by p and assign it to a *p = 1 Assign the value of 1 to the memory location designated by the address of p
8 Declaring pointers int *a; int* a; Use the first style, second leads to mistakes int* b, c, d int *b, *c, *d char*message = Hello world! ; char *message message = Hello world! ;
9 Pointers and Addresses pointers and references: & vs * & is used on a variable (can be char, int, double, array element) to get the address: int i, *ip1, *ip2, a[8]; char c, *cp; ip1 = &i; ip2 = &a[0]; cp = &c;
10 Pointers and Addresses pointers and references: & vs * & can not be used on a constant, array name, register variable and expressions: char * ip1; register int a; char b[10]; int * ip2; ip1=& y ; /* WRONG */ ip1=& abcdef ; /*WRONG*/ ip1= abcedf ; /*RIGHT*/ ip2=&7; /* WRONG */ ip2=&a; /*WRONG*/ ip1=b; /*RIGHT */ ip1=&b; /*WRONG */ ip2=&(ip1+2); /*WRONG*/
11 Pointers and Addresses pointers and references: & vs * * is used on a pointer to access the variable it points to. int x =1,y[2]={2,3}; int * ip1,*ip2,*ip3; ip1=&x; *ip1=0; //x=0; printf( %d\t%d\n,x,y[0]); ip2=&y[0]; *ip2=1; //y[0]=1; printf( %d\n,y[0]); ip3=y; //ip3=&y[0]; *ip3=0; //y[0]=0; printf( %d\n,y[0]);
12 Pointers and Addresses pointers and references: & vs * * pointer has a datatype which is the same as that of the variable the pointer points to. int *a; every pointer points to a specific data type except void *; void * is used to hold the address of any data type.
13 Pointers and Function Arguments Still pass-by-value with pointers Dereferencing the value of the pointer gives a memory address The memory s content can change Note: Note argument types when passing parameters swap (int*, int *); swap(&x,&y); /*pass addresses of two integer variables*/
14 Address Arithmetic Pointers can use arithmetic operations int *ip1, *ip2, a[8]; ip1 = &a[7]; ip2 = &a[0]; What about: ip2 ip1 + 1 ip1 ip2? ip1 == NULL? ip1 > ip2?
15 Pointer example 1 #include<stdio.h> int main() { float i=10, *j; void *k; k=&i; j=k; printf("%f\n", *j); return 0; }
16 Pointer example 2 #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> main() { int x, *p; p = &x; *p = 0; printf("x is %d\n", x); printf("*p is %d\n", *p); *p += 1; printf("x is %d\n", x); (*p)++; printf("x is %d\n", x); return 0; }
17 Pointer example 3 #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char ch = 'c'; char *chptr = &ch; int i = 20; int *intptr = &i; float f = ; float *fptr = &f; char *ptr = "I am a string"; printf("\n [%c], [%d], [%f], [%c], [%s]\n", *chptr, *intptr, *fptr, *ptr, ptr); return 0; }
18 Pointers and Function Arguments C passes arguments to functions by value; swap(int x, int y); /* change local copies of x, y*/ swap(int * x, int * y); /*use pointer to change the content of two variables */
19 Parameter Passing -- Example void swap (int x, int y) { int temp; temp = x; x = y y = temp; } void swap (int *x, int *y) { int temp; temp = *x; *x = *y *y = temp; }
/* EXAMPLE 1 */ #include<stdio.h> int main() { float i=10, *j; void *k; k=&i; j=k; printf("%f\n", *j);
You try /* EXAMPLE 3 */ #include int main(void) { char ch = 'c'; char *chptr = &ch; int i = 20; int *intptr = &i; float f = 1.20000; float *fptr = &f; char *ptr = "I am a string"; /* EXAMPLE
