Easy Pointer Fundamentals
Solve in Playground →

Problem Statement

Write a C program to declare an integer variable, assign a value, and print its memory address using the address-of operator (&).

Input Format

An integer value.

Output Format

Print a message confirming the address exists (or print 'VALID ADDRESS' since raw memory addresses vary across runs).

Constraints

Standard integer limits

Sample Input

42

Sample Output

VALID ADDRESS

Explanation

Use the '&' operator to retrieve the memory address of a variable and verify it is non-null.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int num;
    if (scanf("%d", &num) == 1) {
        int *ptr = &num;
        // Write your code here to check if pointer address is valid
    }
    return 0;
}

Limits

  • Time Limit: 1s
  • Memory Limit: 256MB

Embedded C Programming

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
