c language + simple question regarding memory addresses and ASCII characters
Just a simple question (which may seem silly so bear with me) that arose in my mind the other day. Do ASCII characters by themselves (e.g. /n, 0, a) have an actual memory address ?

My question arises, because Im aware that each time I create and initalise a pointer like this for example

Code:
int *ptr = 5;
I always get a null pointer error.

many thanks
