They are so simple. It's just the address of the thing it points to.
Maybe it's lost in the mists for me too, but if you don't know your pointers from yout references from your values... how can you code anything?

I've seen some awkward code too from people moving from Java to C++ where either they make everything a pointer, or they use value objects without understanding that they're not references.
