Integers are easy!
The first thing you have to do is define an integer type. This will make
your code PORTABLE!
typedef int my_integer_type;
Then you can define a new type that is a pointer to an integer. This is a
shortcut that will save you a lot of work!
typedef *my_integer_type my_integer_pointer_type;
Then you can create an actual pointer to an integer like this:
my_integer_pointer_type my_integer;
Then you must allocate memory for the integer. This is where the actual
number will be held!
my_integer = malloc(sizeof(my_integer_type));
Then you can assign a value to your integer.
*my_integer = 8;
Or print it out to the screen!
printf("My integer is %d\n", *my_integer);
That's all there is to it!
Hope this helps.
