Ada
There's something odd in the References subsection : one declares a type, and no variable, and the loop and array index are made on the type, not on a variable ? Looks wrong, even though I'm a beginner in Ada. Probably same problem with Ada 2012 example. Nochnix 15:54, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
C: Added a practical example
I've added a minimal, practical example of pointers using C that shows how useful pointers are. Hope it'll be useful! --JBF8088 (Hi there! =D) 14:46, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
