When using pointers in a C program, what does the 'dereferencing' operation do?

  • Accesses the value stored at a memory address
  • Allocates memory for a new pointer
  • Increases the pointer's size
  • Retrieves the memory address of a variable
Dereferencing a pointer in C means accessing the value stored at the memory location pointed to by the pointer. It allows you to work with the actual data.
