What do you call the number in memory attached to a variable?

What do you call the method of handling the above number by assigning it to a variable?

 #include <stdio.h>

void sum(int, int, int *);

int main(void)
{
    int value;
    sum(50, 100, &value);
    printf("%d\n", value);
    return 0;
}

void sum(int min, int max, int *ans)
{
    *ans = (min + max) * (max - min + 1) / 2;
    return;
}

From multiple numbers entered in the range of 0-100.
Create a program to find and display the maximum and minimum values.

If -1 is entered, it is judged to be the end of the input.
However, the maximum and minimum values are obtained in one function other than the main function.
The number of elements of the array that stores the input numerical values shall be 10, and the number of elements of the array that stores the input numerical values shall be 10.
If more than that is entered, it is assumed that an error is unavoidable.

Hint: A -1 in the array indicates the end of the data.
Tip: To find the minimum value, repeat the comparison with the variable that stores the maximum value.

After all, briefly explain what a pointer is.

address

pointer

The third argument of the sum function is declared as a variable of type pointer.
Because the contents of the variable can be directly rewritten by passing the address to it.

 #include <stdio.h>

void maxmin(int array[], int *max, int *min);

int main(void)
{
    int i = 0, array[10], max, min;

    do
    {
        printf("%dth number:", i + 1);
        scanf("%d", &array[i]);
        i++;
    } while (array[i - 1] ! = -1);

    maxmin(array, &max, &min);

    printf("max %d : min %d\n", max, min);

    return 0;
}

void maxmin(int array[], int *max, int *min)
{
    int i = 0;

    *max = 0;
    *min = 100;

    while (array[i] ! = -1)
    {
        if (array[i] > *max) *max = array[i];
        if (array[i] < *min) *min = array[i];
        i++;
    }
}

A shortcut variable for a variable.
