## Names and places
names are allocated to emmory locations of declaration
`&b;` wherever in memory b is stored
## Why Pointers
- abstractions
- dont need to know which "object" to manipulate
- ability to change a parameter
- multiple return values from a routine
- efficiency
- dont need to copy anything to pass a pointer
## Call by value
- The value of the variable is passed to the called routine.
- changes to the parameter do not propogate to the caller
## Call by address
- address of parameter is passed to the rountine
