8.16 Pointer Type Operators

Pointer type operators are used only in unsafe mode (see Chapter 7). The operators have the following meaning:

• * operator: This operator is used to define pointer types and dereference pointer types.

• & operator: This unary operator returns the address of its operand.

• -> operator: The -> operator combines pointer dereferencing and member access.

• [] operator: You can use square brackets to index off a pointer.
