@All.
I think we should try the given codes in c compiler provided.

@Pankaj.
I tried your code and definitely p1 and p2 are working as an integer, not as integer pointers.

Can we say like this?

*ptr is the name used instead of int and
ptr defines the variables as p1 and p2.
but how to compare the both *ptr and ptr.

How is it possible?

Whenever we use typedef, that means we are renaming the previously defined keyword or variable.

If we have declared,

Typedef int *ptr;

That means simply we have renamed, int as *ptr. Then how did it become a pointer?

Please answer me with a clear explanation.

Your explanation is very clear, Thanks.

@Ruhi.

It will change the name of int* as ptr.
