Edit Question
Title
Body
I am finding difficulties in understanding the factors on which the size of pointer variables in C is dependent on. I checked few references, the only information I got until now is pointer size is dependent on the processor architecture .I would like to know the following details Please explain more on how the architecure impacts the pointer size. In general, if the pointer is of x bits then 0 to 2^(X)-1 number of address locations should be there.I am losing track while relating the number of address locations and the actual amount of memory available to the program.
