Can anyone explain. Me about pointers?? Challenge

Question

i am learning c++ but i dont understand what is the use of it and why we have to about the location of any identifier

Answer 1

In this example I use pointers to the item object to avoid having to store a copy in inventory item struct.

When it comes time to create/save a file. I will dereference the pointer and store the name instead of saving the memory address (not shown)
