Pointers topic

So after reading the tut page for pointers; my best understanding is that a pointer highlights, or references, a variable’s memory location instead of physically storing it? Am I understanding this correctly? Please let me know, thanks.

Also I found the pointer in the PositionReport file. Listed as the example given FActorComponentTickFunction* ThisTickFunction

A very simplified view is that a non-pointer variable stores the value, or contents of the variable directly.

A pointer variable stores the address in memory where the contents might be found.
