The following expression is used in C to get the address of a particular element.
&a[x]
What is the type of the value returned? What is this dependent on? Is it always the same by convenetion or is it dependent on the operating system?
I need to know this because:
I need to extract a bit pattern from within this pointer so Im trying to understand whether the value is hex or binary. When you say a pointer is it like: 0x25434 or like 0111000111?
Becuase that would affect how I extract my bits
