    A pointer is nothing but an integer that “points to” a memory location.

    They can feel intimidating because it’s really easy to footgun with them, but they are not as complicated as they appear :)

      The pointer syntax being slightly different than the pointer declaration syntax always confuses me to no end. I conceptually under pointers perfectly but their syntax is wack.
