Pointers

Pointers are a direct reference to a memory address that some variable or value is being stored.

// Pointers has *T type
var value int
var pointer *int
 
// Point to a variable memory address with &
value = 3
pointer = &value
 
pointer // 3
pointer = 20
pointer // 20
pointer += 5
pointer // 25
 
// Pointers to structs can access the attributes
type Struct struct {
    X int
}
 
s := Struct{3}
pointer := &s
 
s.X // 3

Obs: Unlike C, Go doesn't have pointer arithmetics.
