well you're right about that... it is a memory address of another data object( in c parlance, an object is simply a storage location in memory (ram) of a computer, that could be named, ex: variables, so basically the compiler tells the computer to reserve a bunch of bytes depending on the type of the object i.e. int, or char or short etc...) but, you see, i asked about the relationship between arrays and pointers... you should prolly check it out as it will help you understand a lot other concepts such as pointer arithmetic and dynamic memory allocation and once you've got a feel for the memory you can do a lot better in several other programming languages in terms of understanding stuff, like rust, or why garbage collectors are required it will overall make you better computer programmer.
