Need of brief difference between *ptr and ptr

#1

What is the difference between *ptr and ptr as they are giving same output??

#2

@Anubhav-Gupta-1124473791053680 hey basically ptr is pointer which hold the adress of variable and when you print ptr it will print some hexadecimal adress ,whereas *ptr is the value which is stored at adress which is stored by ptr. Take example
int a=5;
int * ptr=&a;
print ptr and * ptr you will see ptr print adress whereas *ptr print 5.
Hope you get it.
