-Pointer Operators (``&``, ``*``)
-================================
-
-The pointer operators ``&`` (reference) and ``*`` (dereference) are
-different from the bitwise math operator :ref:`&
-<lang-bitwisemath-and>` and the arithmetic operator :ref:`*
-<lang-arithmetic>`.
-
-Pointers are one of the more complicated subjects for beginners in
-learning C, and it is possible to write many useful Arduino sketches
-without ever encountering pointers. However, for manipulating certain
-data structures, the use of pointers can simplify the code, improve
-its efficiency, and generally provide many benefits that would be
-difficult to achieve without the use of pointers.
-
-Introducing pointers is somewhat outside the scope of this
-documentation. However, a good `pointer tutorial
-<http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/pointers/>`_ is available.
-Also see the `Wikipedia article on pointers
-<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_%28computing%29>`_, especially
-the section on `pointers in C
-<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_%28computing%29#C_pointers>`_.
