I feel like spending some time programming in assembler, even just Z80 or 6502, would give most people an understanding of pointers in very short order.

- Koshkin 6y agoTrue, but you do not need to know assembler to have a general idea of what computer memory looks like; but more importantly, C's notion of a pointer is more complex as it is tied to the data type and its 'sizeof' and is further complicated by association with arrays.
