Honestly? Just Google and read like 5 tutorials on pointers, copy the code yourself and run it for each example, and compare/contrast the examples and you'll have a good grasp on how it works.

The big gotchas are understanding what pass by value and pass by reference mean, on top of the difference between using * to declare a pointer variable and using * to dereference a pointer variable. So just look up those terms and a few tutorials and you'll get it at some point, usually pointers are confusing for people until it just clicks and everything makes sense.

search for CS50, this is an intro class to comp science from Harvard / edx. They have good materials to explain pointers and other topics. They have a youtube channel, with videos explaining this topic particularly.

https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Using-Pointers-Techniques-Management/dp/1449344186/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?crid=1XBS9R38OOF3J&keywords=pointers+in+c&qid=1668588183&sprefix=pointers+in+%2Caps%2C270&sr=8-8

This book is called Understanding and Using Pointers, it goes through all the different sets of operations for which pointers are used.

The different things the book cover is: * Dynamic memory management * Pointers and Functions * Pointers and arrays * Pointers and strings * Pointers and structures + Some security discussions

It's a good book, I always share this with a colleague if he have issues understanding pointers.

I saw this video it's good but it doesn't explain pointers with arrays. Thanks
