pointers are effective means of manipulating memory locations. A
single pointer may point to different memory locations. One of the
major reasons to use pointers is dynamic memory allocation: see below.

We covered slides 1 through 7 in L19 (all but the last one) and slides
1 through 8 in L20. All this material will be on the quiz on Wednesday.
