C PROGRAMMING PRACTICAL FILE

Name: Your Name


Branch: Your Branch (CSE/IT/etc.)
Subject: C Programming
Practical No: 2
Title: Pointer and Multi-Level Pointer Program

Aim

To study and implement pointers, double pointers, and triple pointers in C.

Theory

A pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable.

 A single pointer stores the address of a variable.

 A double pointer stores the address of a pointer.

 A triple pointer stores the address of a double pointer.

These are useful for dynamic memory allocation and complex data structures.

Program 1: Pointer Example

#include <stdio.h>

void main()

int a = 10;

int *ptr;

ptr = &a;

printf("Value of a = %d\n", a);

printf("Address of a = %u\n", &a);

printf("Pointer ptr stores address = %u\n", ptr);


printf("Value of a using pointer = %d\n", *ptr);

Output

Value of a = 10
Address of a = (some memory address)
Pointer ptr stores address = (same address)
Value of a using pointer = 10

Explanation

 ptr = &a stores the address of variable a

 *ptr gives the value stored at that address

Program 2: Multi-Level Pointer Example

#include <stdio.h>

void main()

int ***r, **q, *p, i = 5;

p = &i;

q = &p;

r = &q;

printf("%d %d %d", *p, **q, ***r);

Output

555

Explanation

 *p gives value of i
 **q accesses p then i

 ***r accesses q → p → i

All print the same value.

Conclusion

Pointers and multi-level pointers allow indirect access to variables and are very important in C
programming for memory handling and efficient coding.
