Data is stored in computer memory. The CPU reads from and writes to this memory. In simple terms, computer memory is an array of cells called bits. Usually, a group of eight bits makes a byte. Every byte in memory has its number, which we call a (memory) address. Our data objects reside in these memory cells, and each of these data objects has its address. If we know the address of an object, we can use pointers to access data objects in memory.
