A pointer error in a computer program is any mistake involving pointer variables. Common errors include confusing the value of the pointer forgetting whether a varable contains the desired value, or a memory reference to the desired value. An error may occur when someone wants to do arithmetic on a variable, but accidentally does that operation on the pointer to the variable instead.
