Why don't I declare NSInteger with a *

Question

I\'m trying my hand at the iPhone course from Stanford on iTunes U and I\'m a bit confused about pointers. In the first assignment, I tried doing something like this

Answer 1

Working with pointers

NSInteger integer1 = 1;
NSLog(@"1. integer1:%ld &integer1:%p", integer1, &integer1);
//1. integer1:1 &integer1:0x7ffee59e8a98

NSInteger *integer2 = &integer1;
NSLog(@"2. integer2:%p &integer2:%p *integer2:%ld", integer2, &integer2, *integer2);
//2. integer2:0x7ffee59e8a98 &integer2:0x7ffee59e8a90 *integer2:1

*integer2 = 2;
NSLog(@"3. integer2:%p &integer2:%p *integer2:%ld \t integer1:%ld &integer1:%p", integer2, &integer2, *integer2, integer1, &integer1);
//3. integer2:0x7ffee59e8a98 &integer2:0x7ffee59e8a90 *integer2:2    integer1:2 &integer1:0x7ffee59e8a98
