I understand pointers pretty well, having programmed them in TTL logic, assembly language, Pascal, and BASIC (via PEEK and POKE). Python is a relative newcomer to my tool chain.

What confuses me about pointers in C is simply the syntax, and I'm sure it's because I just don't write enough C to be able to read it with any kind of fluency. I find C programs to be harder to read than any other language that I'm regularly in contact with. Of course this could be because of what C is used for.
