In computer programming, the dereference operator or indirection operator, sometimes denoted by "*" , is a unary operator found in C-like languages that include pointer variables. It operates on a pointer variable, and returns an l-value equivalent to the value at the pointer address. This is called "dereferencing" the pointer. For example, the C code
assigned 1 to variable x by using the dereference operator and a pointer to the variable x.
