Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

pointer

A variable whose value is an address - where something else lives in memory.

In C++ a pointer of type T* holds the address of an object of type T (or nullptr); its size is the machine's address size, 8 bytes on 64-bit targets.
