# 08-指標

當我們在呼叫一個函式時帶入一個參數，則這個參數會被複製到函式中：

```go
func zero(x int) {
    x = 0
}
func main() {
    x := 5
    zero(x)
    fmt.Println(x) // x is still 5
}
```

在這個程式中，`zero` 這個函式不會動到 `main` 函式中的 `x` 變數值，可是如果我們想要改，該怎麼做呢？一種方式是使用一個特殊的資料型別，即所謂的指標（pointer）：

```go
func zero(xPtr *int) {
    *xPtr = 0
}
func main() {
    x := 5
    zero(&x)
    fmt.Println(x) // x is 0
}
```

指標可以取得儲存變數值的記憶體位置，而不是變數值本身（或是指向某物的指標值）。透過指標 (`*int`)，`zero` 函式可以修改原本的變數值。

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://go.netdpi.net/pointer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
