Print Address of Variable Using Pointer in C

About this program

This is an example program in c pointer example programs. Read the concept first: C Pointers, then study the code and output below.

Definition:

Pointer is the variable that holds the address of another variable.

Poniter Syntax:

pointer_vaibale = &variable;

Print address of Variable Using Pointer

/* Simple Print address of Variable Using Pointer in C*/
/* Print Pointer Address Program,C Pointer Examples */

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int a;
  int *pt;

  printf("Pointer Example Program : Print Pointer Address\n");
  a = 10;
  pt = &a;

  printf("\n[a  ]:Value of A = %d", a);
  printf("\n[*pt]:Value of A = %d", *pt);
  printf("\n[&a ]:Address of A = %p", &a);
  printf("\n[pt ]:Address of A = %p", pt);
  printf("\n[&pt]:Address of pt = %p", &pt);
  printf("\n[pt ]:Value of pt = %p", pt);
  
  return 0;
}

Output:

Pointer Example Program : Print Pointer Address

[a  ]:Value of A = 10
[*pt]:Value of A = 10
[&a ]:Address of A = 0060FF0C
[pt ]:Address of A = 0060FF0C
[&pt]:Address of pt = 0060FF08
[pt ]:Value of pt = 0060FF0C

/* Output may vary based on system  */

How It Works

This C program demonstrates Print Address of Variable Using Pointer. It first prepares the data it needs, then performs the core operation step by step, and finally prints the output shown in the Sample Output above.

1. Declare the variables that hold the program’s data.
2. Print the final result to the console so you can compare it with the sample output.

Try changing the input values and re-running the program to see how the output changes — this is the fastest way to understand how the logic behaves.
