Can an address be assigned to a variable in C?

Question

Is it possible to assign a variable the address you want, in the memory?

I tried to do so but I am getting an error as \"Lvalue required as left operand of assignmen

Answer 1

It's not possible, maybe possible with compiler extensions. You could however access memory at an address you want (if the address is accessible to your process):

int addr = 7200;
*((int*)addr) = newVal;
