This code takes the address of variable `result` using the ampersand operator and passes it to subroutine `adder` as `resptr`. The subroutine then uses the star operator to write the result of the addition of the first two arguments (10 + 20 in this example) to the word pointed to by `resptr`.
Unlike C, there are no special pointer types. Pointers must be stored in a `word` variable, since they do not fit in a `byte`. Pointers are dereferenced using the * operator to reference words or the ^ operator to reference bytes.
Unlike C, there are no special pointer types. Pointers must be stored in a `word` variable, since they do not fit in a `byte`. Pointers are dereferenced using the `*` operator to reference words or the `^` operator to reference bytes.
Here is an example of using a pointer to byte:
call poke(1234, 10)
end
sub poke(word addr, byte val)
^addr = val
endsub
