Hello @Bhavit_Singla,

Lets understand with the help of an example:
// variable of int type.
int x;
// assigning some value to it.
x=5;
//Creating a pointer to x.
//It will contain the address of variable x.
int *ptr=&x;
//Printing the value stored at address stored in the pointer variable ptr.
cout<<*ptr;
//Output: 5

Suppose, address of x is 0x12432
and ptr contains 0x12432
so, *ptr will return the value stored at 0x12432

Hope, this would help.
Give a like, if you are satisfied.
