    Hi,

    I am also a newbie so correct me if i am wrong.

    What I understand from your problem that you want to find an address *ptr in C ranging form *high to *low

    say you have three variables
    *ptr = 5
    *low = 1
    *high = 10

    then you want to find the address of 5 i.e the offset of 5 in the list if the list elements are
    1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.

    Is it what you are asking?

    This doesn't make sense. * dereferences the pointers, so if ptr, high and low contain addresses, then *ptr, *high and *low represent the values in memory at those addresses. It also doesn't make any sense that you want to look for ptr when you already have it. So please restate the question.
