Question

Illustrates the Pointer a variable in data structure or not?

Answer 1

Yes, certainly a pointer is a variable and can be used like an element of a structure and like an attribute of a class in several programming languages like C++, but not Java. But, the contents of a pointer is a memory address of other location of memory, that is generally the memory address of another variable, attribute of a class or part of a structure.
