title: What is a Pointer?
body: <h3>See: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5727/understanding-pointers">Understanding Pointers</a></h3>
  <hr />
  <p>In many C flavoured languages, and some older languages like Fortran, one can use <strong>Pointers</strong>.</p>
  <p>As someone who has only really programmed in basic, javascript, and actionscript, can you explain to me what a Pointer is, and what it is most useful for?</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
