- Hi,
-
- I have a newbie question about pointers. Will sombody please explain
- what the advantages of using pointers are. We learned about them in
- class and programmed with them but we never learned why we were using
- them. Why would it be more appropriate to use a pointer rather than a
- variable name? Is it a space/time consideration?
-
- Please post or e-mail your response.
-
- Thanks in advance,
