Pointee

A pointee is something that a pointer points to. A pointer is a piece of code that shows a computer where to look for something stored in memory. Usually the pointer stores the location the computer needs to look in so it can find the thing it's looking for. For example, if you have a list of numbers and a pointer to the list, the pointer will tell the computer exactly where in memory the list of numbers is stored. The numbers that the pointer points to are called the pointee.
