What's the difference between Pointers and Primitives?

In this tutorial of Unreal Engine 5, I show and explain the difference between some foundational and critical concepts in any coding language. Pointers are inherently different from other variables as they care more about addresses and not values. This is especially important in UE5 blueprints since it's hard to see what is a pointer and where is it pointing to. I explore a few variables in this video and come across some interesting situations!

My videos are inspired by Youtubers such as Dani, Make Games with Katie, Code Bullet, and Sebastian Lague. If you don't know who they are, I highly recommend checking them out!
