C programmers may think that the ^var
and {var}
expressions are the direct equivalent of C's &var
and *var
expressions.
However, in E dereferencing is normally achieved using array and object element selection, and pointers to large amounts of data (like E-strings or objects) are made by declarations.
This means that the ^var
and {var}
expressions are rarely used, whilst var[]
is very common.
