A pointer is basically a reference to a variable. It is typically used with structs and especially in pointer receiver methods so that you can modify fields of a struct.

@prologic oh it's ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i'm having but i will figure it out!
