=> "*"

Answer 2

The operator used to get value at the address stored in a pointer variable is the indirection operator.

• When used on a pointer, the indirection operator (or dereferencing operator) (*) returns the value contained in the address kept in the pointer variable.
• A pointer addresses a value through the memory address it stores, whereas a variable (such as a number) references a value directly. Indirection or dereferencing is the process of directly referencing a value without using a pointer.
• Both the RHS (temp = *pNumber) and the LHS (*pNumber = 99) of an assignment statement can contain the indirection operator (*).
