But really, those are all just fancy names for 'void*' for people who can't remember two things at once.

A pointer itself is not a composite data type. It can't remember two things at once.

void* is the zombo.com of pointers. It can do anything. The fact that it can do absolutely, utterly anything is precisely why it is useless.

Useless? The software running the computer you are typing on is full of void*.

All the pointers are void *; and yet, none of them are.
