C++ pointers....

people that program in C++ must have heard of em: pointers, variables that contain the locations of…. variables?!!?!@! :whoa: so, my question is: WTF is the use of pointers? I dont rly get what so special about it (in my C++ programming book they say that: "pointers are one of the most powerfull tools a programmer has" :angry: ) and if they are so "good", then what can u do with em?

thnx, N1315

no 1?

1. Game hacking (change your resource values).
2. Change Memory locations to programs in RAM.
3. Access Registers of the CPU.

ok, but u can also change memory locations in RAM with just ints?

I suggest you reread the book, than if you still have the same mindset than burn it and get a new one.

i'd say just keep reading it and practicing it and thinkabout it while ur bored and then one day it will hit u :p thats what i do ;)
