For example, an integer variable holds (or you can say stores) an integer value, however an integer pointer holds the address of a integer variable.

Take one topic at a time from pointer, learn the basic concept behind that topic and try to make programs on that concept. Try to find out what is happening in the code. once you done with that topic move on to next. Don’t get panic Pointer takes time.
Why are pointers so difficult?
The reason it was complicated was because I didn’t understand that a pointer was an address to something. If you explain that it is an address, that it is something that contains an address to something else, and that you can manipulate that address to do useful things, I think it might clear up the confusion.
Why pointers are not used in C?
