Pointers store addresses in C++ to a specific data type (e.g. integer pointer, floating pointer, etc.). In order to retrieve the value from a pointer that is stored at an address, we 'dereference the pointer'. Note: The asterisk (or sometimes called 'star') is used in many places now. Pointers allow us to refer to the same piece of data, and thus 'share' the values, and while only having one actual update in one place in the program. Pointers will also allow us to build data structures.
