Hi

You must not only determine the address, but also the
data type. In fact, a vaule in a memory location can
have a different types and its correct interpretation
is not possible unless its type in known. Here is an
example for integer type:

main()
{
  int *x ;
  ...
  ...
  x=3D(int *) 0x1234 ; // Set the pointer
  *x=3D1 ; // Set its content (integer)
}

Hope it helps
