I faced with some problems about pointers.

Question

my current knowledge say to me that Pointer value is an address that point to a memory location.
so memory has a address as hex.

int x = 5;
int * ptrX = &x;

in above, ptrX value is a hex address that point to X variable.
and *ptrX return value of mentioned address .
ok. every thing is clear.

but in follow code:

char charTest = 'b';
char * ptrC = &charTest;
cout << ptrC << endl;

1. my output is not a hex address. why?

and more i am confronted with follow code:

char * test = "Hello";
cout << test << endl; //I expected see a hex address.
cout << *test << endl;

2. How to assign non-address values to the pointer.

Answer 1

thanks body but:
why should we assign a char to pointer? I am faced many time with same codes.
is there a comprehensive explain?
