I have an unsigned char* type and want to assign it an integer value. How can I do it in C?
Just do it, with an appropriate cast:
This does exactly what you asked for, it assigns an integer value to a pointer to
unsigned char. This is not a very useful thing to be doing, but that’s how you do it.Of course there’s no requirement (that I’m aware of) that this is even possible; your architecture’s idea of a pointer might not support this, in which case I guess the compiler will tell you.
