Program Plan Intro

Structure pointer operator (->):

The structure pointer operator is used to access members of a structure using pointer variable; it is used to dereference a pointer variable instead of indirection operator (*).

Indirection operator:

An asterisk “*” is also referred as indirection operator which is used to dereferences the pointer.

  • If the “*” operator is placed before a variable then the variable is referred as pointer variable.

Dot operator:

The dot “.” operator is used to access the members of a structure; the dot operator has a higher precedence than the indirection operator.

Note:

Brackets are having highest precedence when comparing with any other operator; so, when any operator with any precedence is placed inside the brackets, then the operator will be executed first.
