title: How is a pointer stored in memory?
body: <p>I am working on an OS project and I am just wondering how a pointer is stored in memory? I understand that a pointer is 4 bytes, so how is the pointer spread amongst the 4 bytes?</p>
  
  <p>My issue is, I am trying to store a pointer to a 4 byte slot of memory. Lets say the pointer is 0x7FFFFFFF. What is stored at each of the 4 bytes?</p>
