Clicky. Pointers are probably "very difficult" not because of any complexity but because you're expecting them to be difficult in your mind. In reality, pointers are both simple and straightforward.

Pointers are data variables that store(that should store) NULL or a valid memory address. Pretty simple right?

Yup. Though as soon as indirection enters the picture people go crazy. I still haven't figured out why.

Not only studying books but practicing those things will make things easier to understand and opens the route to discover more on that thing.
Pointer is an easy thing which just store valid memory address or NULL as said by gerard.

click is a good site to develop system programs(especially OS) and a lot of things to learn in depth along with memory management and hardware analysis.
